I have not seen anybody, any teacher in my life who has taught me as much as He has taught. I had been administering for 18 years the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, the country’s biggest hospital and South East Asia’s biggest hospital. We have 35 medical specialties there. After coming here, I had practically to unlearn most of what I had earlier learnt! - Dr. Safaya

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS), Prasanthigram, Puttaparthi

Here in this Temple called the Hospital, God heals the patients. The patient is placed at the highest pedestal. So whatever you do or think or plan for, is for the benefit of the patients. This is theoretically true in all other hospitals also but in practice it is different - may be because of money, personal ego or something else like that. But in this hospital there is nothing else. Money is not involved and personal egos are not involved. So there is no self aggrandizement. - Dr. Safaya

By establishing the Puttaparthi hospital, Bhagavan has not merely helped poor people suffering from heart disease, but also created some unique prototypes for mankind to see and to derive the benefit of that wonderful experience. One of Bhagavan’s novel experiments is the induction of highly motivated young men into various technical jobs associated with the hospital. These people did not come from a medical background. Rather, they all are graduates from Swami’s University, mostly in the field of Management. In the University, they excelled in their own subjects, but here in the hospital they have picked up medical technology, developed the right aptitude and understanding. The net result of all this is that these so-called Swami's students are now able to guide younger medical staff and even middle-cadre medical staff.

- Dr Safaya
