A number of community programmes are conducted by the hospitals of Manipal group. Health camps are periodically conducted in various parts of the country and patients diagnosed with problems are referred to the tertiary care hospitals. Most of them are given free treatment as outpatients. In case of patients requiring inpatient care , they are given treatment free of costs or on concessional rates. Out of these, many are support funded by Manipal Foundation to meet surgery costs or oncology treatment costs.
