In the 2023-24 period, the hospital attended to 1,063,028 patients in its outpatient department and treated 107,589 patients in its inpatient department. During the same period, the hospital performed 10,726 major and 12,543 minor surgeries.

Despite the overwhelming patient load, officials said that sanitation and hygiene remain top priorities at SMHS and its associated hospitals. “The hospital maintains cleanliness through a three-shift sanitation drive conducted by a dedicated team of 35 sanitation workers,” they said, adding, “Major areas, including the casualty department and some wards covering an area of 62,000 square feet, have been outsourced for proper maintenance.”
