The Father Muller Salvadore Monteiro Rural Health Center, set up on November 1 2018 in Bajpe, has been catering to the health of the underprivileged around Bajpe and its neighbouring areas. It is an example of the Father Muller Charitable Institutions’ service-oriented goal to provide holistic health and compassion to their brethren. With modern amenities and a 50-bed hospital, this center has been a spring in the desert for many.
