Medical Facilities
 
Medical care to the nearby community is an important avenue of service by which the Trust tries to bring the spirit of love into practical expression. Meher Baba himself incorporated medical clinics into many of his ashrams; and he identified the provision of medical service to the public as an object in the Trust Deed. Trust medical treatment is provided free of charge.
Meher Health Centre
  
This is the primary Trust medical facility, which provides basic out-patient health care for about 100 patients a day, most of them poor villagers from Arangaon village and the surrounding district. Common afflictions treated at the Centre include respiratory infections, bacterial and viral infections, parasitic infections, acute and chronic diarrhea, anemia, skin disease, wounds and injuries, and gynecological complaints.

Meher Pilgrim Retreat Dispensary
  
This outpatient clinic ministers to the medical needs of Meherabad pilgrims, many of whom hail from abroad and thus are unaccustomed to health conditions in India.

The Meher Hospital
 
This facility hosts a broadening range of health services, including a free dispensary for Trust employees and their families, bimonthly cataract "camps" at which an ophthalmic surgeon performs ocular implants in the hospital's operating theater for about 60 patients a year, a biweekly dental clinic, and numerous medicalal programs. This does not yet function as a full-time hospital, it will be expanded into one as part of the Trust's Master Plan.

Laboratories
The Trust clinics work in conjunction with the Trust laboratories which each month perform 400-600 tests of various sorts.


 
Veterinary Aid Centre
 
This service to the local community gives free veterinary treatment to about 4000-5000 animals annually.
