The school hospital is an airy and roomy building capable of accommodating at least seventeen children if the need arises. The school hospital contains:
(a) A large ward with fourteen beds (General Ward).
(b) A smaller ward with tow beds.
(c) A single room.

The school has a residential nurse who devotes her time to the care of the children's health. Panchgani now has a local hospital with paediatric and orthopaedic consultants and facilities for any investigation and treatment.

A doctor from this hospital pays daily visit to the school. If children are admitted in the hospital; necessary nursing care will be provided by the school and the parents will be informed immediately and asked to come to accept responsibility for the health of the student. The expenses involved must be paid by the parent.
