The Sassoon General Hospitals (S.G.H.) is a vast teaching hospital providing medical care to individuals in Pune District in the state of Maharashtra. Patients from all walks of life, especially those living Below the Poverty Line (BPL) from the city of Pune and adjacent rural areas, come to seek treatment at this medical centre, which was established more than a century ago by the philanthropist David Sassoon.

How It Works

• With a large number of beds and an equally large clientele of out-patients, the hospital caters to those suffering from Diabetes, Tuberculosis, Cancer, Burns, Orthopaedic problems and children in need of Paediatric care.
• Through this initiative SOFOSH provides counselling as well as economical support to these patients.

SOFOSH counselor worked closely with Shobha to give her emotional and financial support for medicines. They also helped her to give truthful dying statement which is normally compromised version due to the in-laws pressure. Counseling was done for her husband so that after treatment he and his family agreed to take her home. SOFOSH helped her to identify residential school for her daughters.
