N1 - Funding Information: Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, India, was established with the aim to provide free medical care to the sick and ailing with the dedication, commitment, love and the best of skills, so that they will be cured in body, mind and spirit, consistent with the mission statement by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust. This trust, founded by Sri Sathya Sai Baba in 1972 at Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, India, has and continues to undertake numerous service activities in the field of education, health care, and rural development since inception, providing inspiration to many. The trust has built 2 tertiary care hospitals, one in Prasanthigram, Andhra Pradesh, inaugurated in 1991, and one in Whitefield, Bengaluru, established in 2001 ( Figures 1 and 2 ). The trust is funded by charitable donations from all over the world, and funds are allocated every year according to the needs reported by the hospital leadership. The cost of all medical care at Whitefield campus in a fiscal year is approximately US$19 million. When one enters the hospital, the welcoming dome provides the feeling of an ashram, a place of peaceful retreat. It is noteworthy that there is no billing department in these hospitals because medical care is provided completely free of charge. Patients come in by “word of mouth,” as there are no advertisements for care provided by the medical personnel. Besides employees, some volunteers spend time, regularly contributing service to the society. When interviewed, one volunteer said, “I am retired; I don’t want to sit and watch TV. What better way to spend a retired life than to help people?”
