Abstract
India has  an  established  system  of  medical  and  public  health  services  to 
provide  care  to  all  citizens  through  a government-run  network  of  providers  and 
infrastructure. That  system,  though,  is  constrained  by  socio-economic  limitations, a
booming population, and the cultural variations of its population. In addition to the public 
efforts to provide health care, the private sector has grown to serve a large portion of the
population. Many of these private initiatives are found in urban areas where the potential
for  financial gain are great, but  others  have  spread into  semi-urban areas and  villages  to
serve the more rural populations. The Sukhdev Raj Soin Hospital (SRSH) is one of the latter
institutions. Founded in 2007, it is a privately owned hospital in Haryana, India that offers 
tertiary  medical  and  surgical care  to the surrounding  population.  It is  located  in a rural
region  of the country 2 hours south of  New  Delhi  along  the  Delhi-Mathura  Highway 
(National Highway 2). The hospital’s purpose is to provide state-of-the-art medical care to 
a population that lacks proximity and access to any similar resources.
