KNEUS Charitable Hospital, located on a ten-acre green campus along Sarjapur-Varthur Road in suburban Bengaluru, operates on the simple conviction that world-class medical care should never depend on the size of a patient’s wallet. Established in 2003 by the Karnataka-Navodaya Educational & United Society (KNEUS) as a not-for-profit extension of its trust schools, the 300-bed secondary care facility now serves roughly 1.2 million out-patients and 82,000 in-patients every year from urban slums in East Bengaluru and adjacent rural taluks of Kolar and Ramanagara.
Infrastructure
The six-storey main block houses three modular operation theatres, a Level III NICU, a 12-bed dialysis unit, a 128-slice CT, 1.5 Tesla MRI and full digital radiography suite. The Day-Care Center performs over 120 short-stay surgeries weekly, while a tele-ICU link to St. John’s Medical College enables round-the-clock intensivist back-up. A 100-kW rooftop solar plant supplies 60 % of daytime power, and all biomedical waste is processed by an in-house autoclave-shredder. A second, modern but minimally designed women-and-child block—completed in 2022 with CSR grants—adds 60 beds and a separate lactation lounge.
Clinical Services
KNEUS organises its work around five verticals:
1. Maternal & Newborn Health (6,200 deliveries a year, 54 % high-risk referrals)
2. Non-communicable Disease Management (diabetes, hypertension, palliative care)
3. Accident & Emergency (24×7 trauma team; Golden-Hour protocol since 2016)
4. Chronic Kidney Disease (dialysis at ₹350, lowest in the region; free for Below-Poverty-Line patients)
5. Comprehensive Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery (partners Smile Train India for 1,400+ operations)
Governance & Finance
The hospital is governed by a nine-member board of trustees representing education, medicine, community leaders and CSR partners. Roughly 38 % of the annual budget (₹42 crore in FY 2023-24) comes from patient fees, 27 % from donors, 19 % from state health insurance (Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka), 11 % CSR, 5 % government grants. No patient is turned away for want of funds; a social-service desk assesses eligibility for sliding-scale or free care. An internal Charity Ombudsman reviews all financial-assistance cases within 48 hours.
Training & Community Health
KNEUS runs a one-year diploma in rural health care in affiliation with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences and CMC Vellore. It also trains 240 ASHA and nursing students each year. Outreach happens via eight mobile clinics that penetrate 66 villages on fixed weekly routes, immunising 110,000 children and conducting 45,000 ante-natal checks annually.
Awards & Recognition
– Mother Teresa Social Service Award, Government of Karnataka (2021)
– NABH-accredited since 2016, renewed 2021 with “Exceeds-Norms” grading
– UN ESIC Award for Sustainable Infrastructure, 2020
Future Plans
Construction of a 100-seat medical college and 150-bed tertiary cancer wing is sanctioned; groundbreaking is scheduled for October 2024, funded partly by a CSR consortium led by Infosys Foundation and Biocon.
At KNEUS, every corridor carries a hand-painted line from the Upanishads: “Sarve santu sukhinah—may all beings be happy.” The hospital turns that ancient wish into a modern, measurable reality every working day.
