Mahabodhi Karuna Charitable Hospital Ladakh is the biggest district in India.  Despite the overwhelming need for health-care, there is only one government hospital in Leh, over-crowded and lacking in modern diagnostic machines and equipments.  Heart patients are referred either to Chandigarh or to Delhi and not everyone can afford this. To complement the medical services and provide quality Medicare, the Mahabodhi Mother Park Chung Soo Karuna Charitable Hospital was started in 1996 by the kind support of Mother, a South Korean.  The hospital now has a mobile ambulance, to give health-care in rural areas.  Outfitted with the latest medical equipment, the Karuna Hospital continues to set the standards for Medicare in the region. The Mahabodhi Hospital organizes annual summer medical camps in remote villages, attended by specialist doctors from here and abroad.
