As we celebrate Thanksgiving, we are humbled to share with you that UNITED SIKHS GurKirpa Health Network has officially been inaugurated in Panjab and has already treated over 1000 patients, 40 of which were children.
The hospital is dedicated and accessible to all 22 surrounding villages and will impact 40,000 lives.

At the moment the hospital operates from 9am -5pm, including Sundays.The staff includes medical and homoeopathic doctors and nurses.
The hospital has two departments, an OPD (out-patient department) facility where we deliver ECG, X-rays, blood pressure check-up, injectables, homoeopathy medicines, as well as treating serious and minor accidental cases.Furthermore, the IPD (in-patient department) admits patients for 2 to 6 hours, under supervision of a doctor to treat them for more serious issues such as dehydration, typhoid, UTI and nebulisation in asthmatic cases.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has revealed that Panjab is the second state within the whole of India to have the highest number of drug and alcohol dependants. While, the Guru Nanak University in Panjab has discovered that 73.5% of Panjab’s youth are drug dependants.
