How SDMH Jaipur Became Rajasthan’s Most Trusted Healthcare Institution  

Founded in 1971 by Padmashri Khailshankar Durlabhji and opened by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Santokba Durlabhji Memorial Hospital (SDMH) was first private hospital in Jaipur. Over the decades, it has grown into a 551-bed tertiary care facility, pioneering medical advancements such as Rajasthan’s first open-heart surgery in 1980 and a state-of-the-art blood bank since the 1990s. SDMH’s trust-managed, not-for-profit model ensures accessible healthcare, exemplified by initiatives like Avedna Ashram and the Rehabilitation and Limb Fitting Centre. Consistently ranked Jaipur’s top private hospital, SDMH remains a leader in medical excellence, community service, and technological innovation in Rajasthan’s healthcare sector.
