Doctors and other staff of the Hospital have been provided with residential quarters in the campus, as such any medical emergency is taken care of. Arrangements for the stay of relatives of patients admitted in the Hospital has been made in the campus itself, along with provision of fair priced Medical and General shops as well as a highly subsidized and hygienic Canteen to take care of the requisite refreshments to the visitors.
On an average about fifty thousand patients are treated at the Hospital per annum. Residents of Konkan Region, where per capita income is one of the lowest in our country, can hardly afford to pay the ‘real cost’ of the treatment from a well equipped Ultra modern Hospital like Walawalkar Hospital at Dervan. Patients from the lower economic strata are therefore granted substantial concessions in their Hospitalization (IPD) bills. Cost of such concessions offered (directly or indirectly) on Charitable basis, so far, is approximately around Rs.150 lakhs, on a very modest scale.
