Sri Venkateswara Pranadanam Trust aims at providing free medical facilities to poor patients
afflicted with life threatening diseases related to the heart, kidneys, brain, cancer etc.,
for which the treatment is very expensive and beyond the reach of poor patients.
The scheme also proposes to encourage research and development in the treatment of diseases/
conditions like chronic renal failure, hemophilia, thalassemia and cancer. Basic amenities
including blood-bank, artificial limbs, physiotherapy, tools and implants will be provided
to poor patients, free of cost.
This scheme will be applicable to all poor patients, irrespective of caste, creed or religion.
Treatment will be provided at all TTD-run hospitals- SVIMS,
BIRRD, SVRR and the maternity Hospital.
Established in November 2001, during Bramhotsvam, with a trial of 50 patients admitted to SVIMS
(Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences) for free treatment. Seeing the immediate, but
long lasting benefit – The Pranadanam Trust brought to the poor and needy, a base fund was established
by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, raising funds from donors for sustaining the programme in perpetuity.
