Dr Hedgewar Hospital Aurangabad is a 300 Bed Multispecialty Charitable organization run by the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakiya Pratishthan The Hospital is the epicenter of a humongous social healthcare movement called The Healing Touch Now for more than 26 years since its inception in 1989 the hospital has reached out to the poor and needy population of Aurangabad district in 9 Talukas through the window of healthcare to offer holistic healing through innovative and customized projects

The 7 young Doctors who started this movement were very clear from the inception that they did not want to restrict themselves to operating from a building rather reaching out to the masses was the prime goal The 1st Slum Health Centre catering to the migratory industrial population was kicked off within 6 months of the hospital launch A doctor and his wife took a conscious call to relocate to the slums to dedicate their lives to the service of the population One thing led to another challenges arose solutions were devised and today after nearly 26 years there are 3 Slum Health Centre and a Mobile Clinic visiting another 6 slums on the periphery of the city Together they cater to a population of nearly forty thousand people These Centre have now metamorphosed into a hub of activities offering multiple life changing socialhealthcare opportunities transforming the entire landscape of the slum population

The founder Doctors who had just passed out of Medical Collegestarted off in a very small 100 sqft 5 bed setup All of them soon had to contribute towards creating a basic corpus to apply for a bank loan Most of them borrowed money from their parents while others had to take personal loans in 2017 new year and thus began the journey Very soon the local population began to take notice of these youngstersTheir commitment and passion to serve the poor and needy soon inspired individuals from the society to come forward and join hands in various capacities and thus began the movementChallenges were a plenty and still are sometimes shaking the team to the core but there was always light at the end of the tunnel The founder Doctors were inspired by the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak philosophy of Service towards nation and aptly guided ampsupported by veterans from the RSS who when required came forward to encourage and rebuildand then swiftly vanished into the background
