Why so many eye diseases in Rajasthan?

The causes for severe eye diseases and blindness in Rajasthan are:
+ infections due to poor hygiene conditions
+ lack of vitamin A, needed for the retina of the eye
+ Sunlight. Near Jodhpur,the "sun city", in Metania,is the village with the most sun days of the world!
+ people don't protect their eyes with glasses
+ people work the whole day in the fields without eye protection
+ the ultra violet light of the sun and the heat causes coagulation of the protein of the eye lenses, and blindness due to cataract disease is the consequence.
+ diabetes rate is high
That´s why examination and treatment from eye specialists is needed.And prevention of course too.

Dental camp in Sarowar

Dr. Abishek, dental sergeant of our hospital, attended the dental camp in Sarowar, just a few hours in the south of Jadan. He examined 200 people in need. The most part of them will be treated in the Sri Swami Madhavananda Austria Hospital.We have already 2 modern, well equipped dental chairs there, for all kind of therapies.The dental camp was announced in the local newspapers and was very successful.

The first patient on the new Dental chair was SWAMI AVATARPURI, who was really a brave,peaceful and very good patient.He is now an example for all other children. He was also the first one to GIVE a DONATION in the donation box, which stood very secretly in the dental department. He came in the room and first thing he did: he emptied all his pockets from money which he had collected before. It was a big surprise, because before many people where already there - but no one gave a donation. So Swami Avatarpuri is a very special young Sadhu with a big heart!

Jadan Health Program

In December 2009 started the JADAN HEALTH PROGRAM. In this program the children of the Jadan school will be instructed about ways to maintain good health. The first lecture was about dental hygiene. It will be followed by the topic - "What is healthy vegeterian food". The children and the teacher accepted the program with lot of joy!And some of them had for the first time a toothbrush in their hands.

Swamijis visit of the Hospital!

His Holiness Swami Maheshwaranada made a short visit in India to celebrate the Mahasamadhi of Sri Mahaprabhuji in Bari Khatu. He came also to Jadan and on the full moon day, 1st Dec 09 he visited the dental department for first time. This was a historical moment for the hospital, because for the first time doctors were treating and curing patients. Swamiji opened the dental clinic and gave his blessings the whole Hospital. As he is the initiator of the Hospital project, he was very happy to see the progress and the idea coming to life.

Eye camp was the first!

On Saturday, 28. 11. 09 the Goyal Eye Hospital under the guidance of Dr. G. K. Goyal, from Pali, organized the first eye camp at the Sri Swami Madhavanada Austria hospital which was for free! Dr. G. K. Goyal and his team examined about 400 patients. The camp was a great success!! In the same night Dr. Goyal operated 30 patients and gave all treatments and medicines for free as well. We are very grateful for all his help and generosity - as he gave time, knowledge and treatment to rural people.

GREAT NEWS - we started!!!
