SivaSanta Medical Services was the brainchild of His Holiness Swami Shantanand Saraswati, who was desirous of providing quality healthcare to any needy patient, irrespective of whether the person was able to afford it or otherwise.
SivaSanta Medical Services is a not-for-profit establishment and has been operating Klinik Derma SivaSanta (as it is known now) for the past 33 years. Klinik Derma SivaSanta took on the name to institutionalize the wisdom and contribution of the founder, His Holiness Swami Shantanand and his Master, His Holiness Swami Sivananda, who was himself a doctor serving in the rural rubber estates in Malaya between 1913 to 1922 prior to his monastic calling, bringing not only cures for ailment but also unsurpassed love and attention to the sick and needy.
SivaSanta Medical Services currently operates from two locations in Malaysia, namely Kuala Lumpur and Penang and also regularly conducts medical camps to rural parts of West Malaysia using the SivaSanta Medical Mobile van. It is the aim of SivaSanta Medical Services to eventually be able to provide quality, free in-patient medical services to the deserving Malaysian public.
SivaSanta Medical Services is built on the following ideals:
- To ensure that a patient would not be denied medical attention for lack of financial capacity
- To establish a first-class modern facility, fully equipped and capable of providing healthcare to the community.
- To establish a centre of excellence for alternative medical therapies including ayurveda, homeopathy, siddha,acupuncture etc.
The Project will feature a 3-storey medical facility in Brickfields which will offer a wide range of medical services to the public,which will include:
- General medical services;
- Specialist medical services;
- Dialysis services;
- Rehabilitation care;
- Diagnostic services; and
- Traditional medicine
The SivaSanta Dialysis and Medical Clinic Project is a community project which will operate on a pay-as-you-wish model for all discerning members of the public who would otherwise not be able to afford proper medical care. In order to sustain its operations, the clinic will enlist the support of corporates to include the clinic in its panel of medical service providers.
The SivaSanta Dialysis and Medical Clinic Project will see the development of a pioneer salutogenic centre in Kuala Lumpur. The term ”salutogenesis” describes an approach focusing on factors that support human health and well-being rather than on factors that cause disease.
The clinic will achieve this by providing conventional medicine and traditional medicine under one roof as well as having a healing space on the roof top which will combine the 5 elements of nature, namely:
- Space
- Fire
- Water
- Earth
- Air
