Charitable care
The whole hospital is the charitable programme, not a scheme inside it.
In short
Can I get treatment if I cannot pay?
The trust provides free care in cases of need, assessed by the trust rather than decided at the counter. Ask at the admission counter or call 0261 2510050 and ask for the administration. Asking does not affect the treatment you are given.
- Free care in cases of need
- Assessed by the trust

Most hospitals run a charitable arm alongside a commercial one. Here it is the other way round: the hospital itself is run by the trust on a no profit, no loss basis, and the affordability is structural rather than a concession applied case by case.
That shows up in three checkable places. A general OPD consultation includes the medicine prescribed for that day. The charge for your room or care category is given to you before you are admitted rather than at discharge. And the same rate applies to every patient in a given category, with no negotiation and no separate rate for anyone.
The record
The trust treats patients free or at subsidised rates, but the figures have never been published.
What this page needs from the hospital
- Patients treated free or at subsidised rates, per year
- How a patient who cannot pay is identified and helped
- Who decides, and on what basis
- Any fund set aside for this, and its size
Until that arrives this page stays deliberately short rather than carrying content nobody can stand behind. If you need any of it now, call 0261 2510050 and ask.
