The gift of life and every living moment constantly inspires us to reach out and help. At SPARSH we do not consider this as an obligation but as an opportunity to touch the lives of the people.

With its rapid economic growth, India is poised to take its place among the leading nations in the world. This is reflected by positive investor sentiment, a growing consumer class and growth of social and economic indices. Sectors across the board are beginning to see this and healthcare is no exception.

Indian medical professionals and nursing staff are recognized globally for their clinical and research skills and patient care. Domestically, the healthcare sector has boomed. India is emerging as the leading hub for inbound international patients, often from the developed countries, who come with the assurance of getting the same level and quality of healthcare they get in their countries, at a far more competitive cost.

SPARSH Hospital was set up with a single minded proposition - to develop a healthcare practice that sets a new benchmark for quality, consistency and delivery of healthcare services while developing a way to make it affordable and accessible to all. Patient orientation, social responsibility and best in class clinical practice and research will remain its cornerstones.

We believe this is a winning model and we are focused on getting this right.

For instance, to remain focused on our social responsibility we have a dedicated foundation, SPARSH Foundation, a non profit arm of the hospital to build Sparsh Hospital's own corporate social responsibility programme in the areas of trauma and grassroot health camps, to extend the hospital's clinical expertise into areas like disability and related areas that do not receive organized funding and to fund medical intervention in cases from economically backward families.

Our clinical milestones have been just as encouraging. SPARSH has successfully carried out many path breaking operations, often for the very first time in our country. We have led the way in creating a focused Hospital meant for Accidents, Orthopaedics, Plastic and Maxillofacial surgery. SPARSH has developed specialist teams for super specialised areas like Joint Replacement surgery, Limb Reconstruction surgery, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Spine surgery & Tumor Orthopaedics, Hand & Microvascular surgery and Cancer Reconstructive surgery. This expertise has been availed, not only by the people of India but also patients from other parts of the world, who have reposed their faith in Team SPARSH.

Now, to be the global leaders in our field of expertise, SPARSH HOSPITAL FOR ADVANCED SURGERIES has been launched. Fostering collaborations with the best in the world to provide our surgeons and nurses with cutting edge experience and creating specialised clinics to address the most complex and challenging musculo-skeletal conditions, we shall go the extra mile to better the best at our new Hospital.

These are exciting times for Sparsh Hospital. I am confident that as an institution we will live up to what we set out to do and build our unique brand in the delivery of healthcare.
