Dear Friends & Well Wishers,

It is with a great pleasure I place before you the 65^th Annual Report of this institution.

Mr.Paul de Wit visited SRH in Jan 2023 and appreciated the facilities developed on Campus with the funds donated by his organisation Pavlos Culture-Adventures Foundation.  He also promised to continue his donation in future.

TFL Quinn India Pvt.Ltd. as promised is continuously supporting SRH activities with their financial donations for providing nutritious diet to the patients.

The Management of Nord Anglia Education Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. came forward to support our activities and donated Rs.25,00,000/- for purchase of an Ultrasound Machine for providing medical diagnostic facility to the people affected by leprosy and availing treatment at this institution.

A Maruti EECO vehicle was purchased for the hospital with financial support received from Samaritans for the Nation.

Due to their financial constraints, Helping Hand Foundation stopped funding Sivananda’s Palliative Care Centre for HIV/AIDS people.  This support was received till April 2022.  Thereafter the facility was being managed with SRH funds.  We thank the Management of HHF for their contribution to our activities since the beginning of the SPCC Project.

As in the past, we have benefitted from the generosity of many of our well wishers and I would like to thank them for the donations & help that they have provided to SRH over the years. The German Leprosy Relief Association,  The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, The State TB Control Society have made substantial contributions to our efforts for which we are grateful. We thank the Sisters of the Nirmala Dasikal Congregation for their continuing dedication and selfless service.

I would also like to thank our doctors and other staff members for their dedication and hard work which has made SRH what it is.
