ARPANA
Arpana Hospital · Madhuban, Karnal · HaryanaUnder the auspices of Arpana Research & Charities Trust · Since 1980

A hospital built
on a promise.

Ward, Arpana centre, Himachal · report 2025-26

In 1980, Param Pujya Ma and the members of Arpana set out to bring modern medical care to rural people who had none. Forty-five years later, Arpana Hospital is a NABH-accredited, 100-bed charitable multi-specialty institution — and no patient is turned away for inability to pay.

1980 → today

From thirteen beds to a hundred — without leaving the village.

The hospital grew where it was founded. Every department added since has been a response to what patients from the surrounding villages could not otherwise reach: intensive care, surgery, dialysis, and — in 2025 — cardiology, oncology and an eye bank.

Patient story · Cardiology

Jagdish, 75, reached the cath lab in time.

A retired sugar-mill clerk from Kutail, Jagdish was rushed to the emergency department with chest tightness, breathlessness and high blood pressure. Doctors diagnosed a heart attack and performed an urgent stent procedure in the hospital's newly opened cardiac catheterisation laboratory. His treatment was covered in full under Ayushman Bharat.

“Every hospital should have services, doctors and staff like Arpana Hospital.”

Patient story · Eye bank

Vanshika, 6, saw for the first time.

Blind since birth, Vanshika received a donated cornea from the Arpana Eye Bank and underwent corneal surgery on 12 November 2025. The eye bank — opened only three months earlier — collects, preserves and delivers donated corneas so that surgeries like hers can happen in Madhuban rather than in a distant city.
