Located in a remote rural village of Chikkaballapur district, Karnataka, India, Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital, the teaching hospital of India’s First Free Private Rural Medical College – Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research–provides the essential infrastructure and support necessary for these critical surgeries.
