Development of the hospital was, slowly but steadily in progress. Since the mentally handicapped, physically handicapped and the hearing impaired students regularly needed medical checks and treatment, Dr. Karim joined the hospital as a part time Orthopedic Surgeon. When he left us in 1983, Dr. S.L. Patidar joined us as full time Orthopedic Surgeon. We had on our staff Dr. Vijay Pagare, Physician and Cardiologist: Dr. Pant, Pediatrician, Dr. Pradeep Chouray, ENT surgeon and Dr. Sunil, Ophthalmologist for a short while. In 1991 a maternity department was opened with Dr. (Sr.) Herman Joseph on the medical staff. As soon as the school of the hearing impaired was shifted, extension of the hospital began. The Boys dormitory was converted into a surgical ward and a number of semiprivate rooms. Two more class rooms were converted into two private rooms and three semi private rooms. From 1994 extension and development of the hospital was rapidly progressing. A spacious and upto date pathology-Lab with up to date computerized equipment, was blessed by Archbishop Eugene DSouza in 1993. The very next year, 1994, Sonography was started.
