About SGM Hospitals

Sant Gajanan Maharaj Rural Hospital & Research Center, established on February 13th, 1997, has been a beacon of hope and healing in the Kolhapur district. Founded by the visionary Adv. Anasaheb D. Chavan, the hospital operates as a NABH-accredited, 80-bedded multi-specialty charitable institution, dedicated to serving the underprivileged and rural communities. Over the past two decades, it has evolved into a trusted healthcare provider, offering high-quality medical care with compassion and expertise.

Strategically located to cater to the population of Gadhinglaj, Chandgad, Ajra, Gargoti, and the Maharashtra-Karnataka border areas, the hospital serves a total population exceeding 10 lakhs across 250 villages. The majority of these regions are hilly and remote, making access to advanced healthcare a significant challenge.

From 24×7 emergency medical services to advanced treatments across specialties such as cardiology, oncology, general surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, and more, we ensure that every patient receives world-class care.

Over the last 21 years, Sant Gajanan Maharaj Hospital has touched the lives of more than 4,00,000 people, with nearly 70% of Kolhapur’s rural population relying on our services. As a charitable hospital, we remain committed to making healthcare accessible and affordable, ensuring no one is left behind in their pursuit of health and well-being.

Beyond healthcare, the hospital actively engages in community welfare and public health initiatives, contributing to the overall development of the region.
