Arpana's Goal
In partnership with the community, to ensure protection of the vulnerable group of infants and mothers, and to work towards sustainable village health care.
Arpana's Role
In households all over rural India, there are families living on meager earnings from sporadic agricultural labour or from low paid intermittent daily wage jobs, who are unable to obtain crucial medical treatment in times of crisis.

Arpana Hospital was set up to fill this need in 1980 and for 30 years it has been a sanctuary for many who would otherwise have had no recourse to relief from illness. Patients come from over 500 villages, knowing that here they will find very good health facilities and medical care as well as qualified doctors and staff who treat them with dignity and care. Specialty treatment to the poor is provided through Ophthalmology, Gynaecology & Obstetrics, General Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, and Chest & Tuberculosis department.
Arpana Hospital also serves as a Training Centre, which invests rural communities with skills and knowledge for better health.

Arpana has been carrying out widespread health programmes in the most poverty stricken District of Himachal Pradesh, Chamba, through Arpana’s Diagnostic & Medical Centre in Bakrota and Arpana’s Medical and Socio-Economic Center in Gajnoi Village. Patients have been coming from surrounding communities and over 200 villages in remote areas of the District where medical facilities are mostly non-existent. Access to Government hospital facilities is difficult both because of distance and inability to obtain the required treatment.
Arpana has also been able to provide regular health and medical services to cover a population of over 50,000 in Molar Bund and Aaligaon through Arpana Swasthya Kendra (ASK) and Mobile Outreach Programmes. The health centre provides special care to pregnant women through antenatal checkups, immunisations, ultrasound tests, medical guidance and essential supplements.
