The St. Andrew’s Community Hospital (SACH) is a community service that was set up by the St.Andrew’s Mission Hospital which is a non-profit welfare organization set up in 1913.

SACH aims to only set up affordable sub-acute and intermediate care for the entire community.

Their services are excellent and consist of the following —

Continuing Medical Care- This service is for those patients who are ailing perennially but without uncomplicated medical conditions. They may be considered as being in the sub-acute phase of illness and need inpatient treatment.

Patients undergo about 2-4 weeks of observation and facilitation to help them resolve their medical problems in case there is a continuing disability in order to regain some amount of successful functioning.

Rehabilitative Care - This kind of care is available to those who need post acute illness care. The patient normally undergoes 2 to 6 weeks of rest and confidence and achieves maximum fitness in all activities.

Respite Care - this service is for patients who are chronically ill and yet do not require immediate or specialized medical attention. Such patients are put in respite care as their caregivers need a breather from nursing their relatives at home.

Paediatric Care - This is for patients from 6 years to 16 years old who suffer illness and demand non-acute medical and/or rehabilitative care. These patients are usually referred by an acute care general hospital.
