Under Sharan Patil's stewardship, within 16 months, over 3000 major surgeries were performed on the lower-middle and middle class strata of society at Manipal Hospital. Patil's philosophy of providing quality healthcare to the common man without compromise to all earned him accolades from his compatriots and is the driving force for the establishment of Sparsh Hospital. His goal is to dispense top quality health care for all, irrespective of financial status or their race or class in society.

There have been various initiatives taken up by the hospital, including:

Lakshmi Tatma

The story of Lakshmi Tatma, a two-year-old ischiopagus conjoined twin with eight limbs from a remote village in the district of Araria of the state of Bihar, India, brought worldwide attention to Sparsh Hospital.

Patil traveled to Bihar in September 2007 to bring Lakshmi Tatma for treatment at Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore.

Lakshmi Tatma went for surgery on November 6, 2007. This marathon surgery led by Patil constituted a large team of doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and which included the famous paediatric anesthetist Yohannan John. The operation lasted 19 hours and resulted in the successful separation of the parasitic twin from the body of Lakshmi Tatma.

This was the first time that surgery of this magnitude was conducted in India. The entire treatment process was carried out free of cost through the Sparsh Foundation.[1]

Sparsh Foundation

Dr. Sharan Patil with the encouragement, love and affection received from well-wishers and recipients came out with a novel concept to further commit him and Sparsh hospital to take up social causes through medical science which will benefit the society at large. Hence his brainchild to help the poor and needy pioneered the charitable wing of Sparsh Hospital now known as the Sparsh Foundation. The basic philosophy is to get quality treatment to the poor and the treatment has to be on par to that which is accorded to the rich the difference being the poor do not have to pay for the surgery. This philosophy along with the cooperation of his friend the chief Anesthetist Yohannan John became the hall mark in his philanthropy to give the touch of life and to inspire everyone.
