J Watumull Global Hospital & Research Centre's founder trustees envisaged that establishing a multi-disciplinary secondary care hospital at Mount Abu would help bridge the yawning gap in health services in district Sirohi, Rajasthan. In 1991, four hospitals with combined bed strength of 457 served the 700,000 strong population of the district. In order to optimise its services to remote communities, Global Hospital has therefore focused on community outreach programmes as well as medical services through out-patient clinics and hospitalisation. Medical research, vocational education in paramedical streams and the promotion of health awareness are other priorities. Vision Statement: Healthcare for all irrespective of social or economic background. Mission Statement: To provide world class complete healthcare services responsibly and with a human touch at affordable prices. Guidelines to implement Mission Statement: Trust hospitals at Mount Abu and Abu Road have adopted these guidelines as their statement of mission: Provide free consultation to all and free/subsidised treatment to poor patients. Plan, organise and implement medical and surgical programmes in remote villages to enable their inhabitants to access the hospital's services. Contribute to the economic development of the local community by offering youth vocational training opportunities in the fields of nursing, optometry and laboratory technology. Conduct research in various disciplines of medicine, aiming to offer an insight into the effects of lifestyle on wellbeing as well as study diseases impacting the health of the local community. Offer positive thinking and Rajyoga meditation courses to patients and their relatives, thereby covering an essential holistic aspect of healthcare. Create a healthy and positive work environment.
