The hospital where no one is turned away for lack of money.
Since 1992, Asha Kiran Hospital has been a 'pro-poor' hospital where no one is turned away for lack of money. Located in the remote tribal region of Lamtaput, Odisha, it serves over 40,000 patients every year. The hospital, a central part of the local community, is operating beyond capacity and urgently needs expansion.

For many here, the hospital is the last option — not the first.
In Lamtaput’s tribal communities, access to healthcare is shaped by distance, cost, and difficult terrain. A hospital visit can mean hours of travel, lost wages, or borrowed money.
​
-
People often delay treatment until the condition becomes critical.
-
Families face difficult choices between health, income, and survival.
-
The hospital becomes the final lifeline when local options are absent.
The hospital has outgrown itself
The hospital is already operating at full capacity. Without expansion the access to care is at risk.
​
-
92% bed occupancy indicates sustained pressure on capacity.
-
Infrastructure now requires upgrades to meet current regulatory standards.
-
With the license renewal nearing, these changes are essential to sustain the hospital's 30 years of service to the community.
