Origin
A group of undergraduate students held medical camps in the slums and villages around Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. In 1986, after completing their specializations in various medical fields, the group gradually evolved into a nursing home and finally the Bhaktivedanta Hospital.[5]
Bhaktivedanta Hospital[6] was opened on 11 January 1998.[1] The hospital also conducts the annual free Barsana Eye and Dental Camps. [7]
