Founded in the year 2012 by a group of young Doctors and some philanthropists, Swami Vivekanand Health Mission Society is continuing its mission of providing high quality health care to mankind. The Society started its journey by establishing their first charitable project in the form of a small clinic at Dharmawala, a tribal dominated village, situated 40 km from Dehradun, Uttarakhand and bordering the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
The self-belief of the Society to provide quality health care to the deprived, tribal, pilgrims and needy along with strong willed approach led to establishment of more hospitals in phases as well as the upgrading of the small clinic of Dharmawala to a full-fledged multi-specialty hospital.
The Society with its vision and mission as the guiding principles also established charitable hospitals in the Char Dhams of the state of Uttarakhand. These are at Shri Badrinath Dham, Shri Kedarnath Dham and Gangotri Dham and are fully equipped with ICU facilities with staff trained in dealing with the problems of high altitude. The vast number of pilgrims visiting these shrines from all over the world used to suffer because of non-availability of quality health care and the morbidity and mortality at these shrines was worrying, the establishment of Society’s hospital at these Dhams brought down the rates by 90%. Presently, 14 charitable hospitals are being run by the Society, of which 11 are in Uttarakhand, two are in Uttar Pradesh and one is in Delhi.
The Society apart from its charitable hospitals is also involved in other philanthropic activities like conducting community medical camps in remote, hilly and difficult to reach areas (during COVID wave also), education activities, making community self-reliant via Swavalamban Abhiyaan and five community health programmes.
The ‘Nar Sewa Narayan Sewa’ motto of the Society has been and will always be the essence of all our endeavours to serve humanity.
