Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakeeya Pratishthan established the Dr. Hedgewar Hospital in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India. The hospital was founded by young doctors inspired by the ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a nationalist pan-India organisation.
Today it has 150 beds and runs medical services in many specialities. The hospital runs several social upliftment programs like AIDS awareness, upliftment of women, kindergarten schools, self-employment, etc., in slum areas of Aurangabad.
People like Ratan Tata, Harsha Bhogle, and Anne Heiberg-Blackwill (Robert Blackwill's wife) have visited and lauded the work of the hospital and its staff.
