| The state-of-the-art Haji Abdul Majid Memorial Hospital and Research Center, which was commissioned by Mother Teresa
in Hojai, Assam, in 1992, is one of the largest charity hospitals
in the country, and the first of its type in rural India. With a mandate
to providing free treatment to the rural poor, the hospital is currently
undergoing a massive expansion program, which when complete, will make
this 350-bed facility one of the largest rural hospitals in South-East
Asia.
In addition, the Trust organizes short-term 'Medico-Educative camps in
backward areas to promote awareness about primary health care, family
planning, AIDS and other diseases amongst the rural populace. Exhibitions,
seminars and training workshops are also regularly conducted towards the
same purpose.
