Hedgewar Hospital
Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakeeya Pratishthan established the Dr. Hedgewar Hospital in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. The hospital was founded by young doctors inspired by the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a nationalist pan-India organisation.
Today it has 300 beds and runs medical services in many specialities. The hospital runs several social upliftment programs like AIDS awareness, upliftment of women, kindergarten schools, self-employment, etc., in slum areas of Aurangabad.
People like Ratan Tata, Harsha Bhogle, and Anne Heiberg-Blackwill have visited and lauded the work of the hospital and its staff.
