Swasthiyog Pratishthan Postgraduate Institute and Superspeciality Orthopaedic Hospital, Miraj, is a private, trust-run orthopaedic hospital and postgraduate training centre located in the Extension Area of Miraj, Dist. Sangli, Maharashtra. Per the institute's own website, it has served the Miraj region — long known as a 'Medical Pandhari' (medical hub) — since 1965, though a third-party listing (Careers360) dates the postgraduate institute's founding to 1978; the site notes over 40 years of continuous service in Orthopaedics. The hospital, formally titled the 'Post Graduate Institute of Swasthiyog Pratishthan Dr. G.S. Kulkarni Hospital', is an Institute for Superspeciality Orthopaedics and Trauma and a recognised Centre for the Ilizarov Method of limb lengthening — among the pioneering centres for this technique, led historically by Dr. G.S. Kulkarni and Dr. Ruta Kulkarni. The institute is affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik, and is approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) for postgraduate training in Orthopaedics. It runs two full-time postgraduate programmes: MS (Orthopaedics), a 3-year course with a sanctioned intake of 4 seats, and D.Ortho (Diploma in Orthopaedics), a 2-year course with a sanctioned intake of 2 seats — a combined sanctioned intake of 6 seats per year. Admission to both is through NEET-PG followed by state/institutional counselling. Owing to its small batch size (Careers360 lists total student strength at around 9–12 against roughly 7 faculty), the institute offers close, individualised clinical mentorship rather than a large-cohort teaching-hospital experience. As a small single-super-speciality PG medical institute, it does not run a conventional campus-placement process; graduates typically move into independent orthopaedic surgical practice, hospital consultant roles, or further super-speciality fellowship training. Clinically, the hospital is organised into distinct orthopaedic super-specialities: Joint Replacement (Hip & Knee Arthroplasty, led by Dr. Milind Kulkarni and Dr. Zafar Satwilkar), the Ilizarov Method of Limb Lengthening (Dr. G.S. Kulkarni and Dr. Ruta Kulkarni), Spine and Neurosurgery (Dr. Milind Kulkarni and Dr. Shekhar Mavle), Hand and Reconstructive Surgery (Dr. Vidisha Kulkarni), Paediatric Orthopaedics (Dr. Ruta Kulkarni and Dr. Sujay Kulkarni), Pelvis and Acetabulum Surgery (Dr. Shekhar Mavle), Sports Medicine (Dr. Sujay Kulkarni), and Trauma and Plastic Surgery (Dr. Milind Kulkarni). The hospital's equipment, per its own site, includes a laminar-flow ultraclean operation theatre for joint replacement, orthopaedic spinal-surgery equipment, a lithotripter, laparoscopy and endoscopic surgery equipment (for kidney stone/prostate procedures), and radiology services including MRI, spiral CT, Doppler and sonography, along with a CR (computed radiography) imaging system with networked 4 TB storage. Third-party hospital directories list it as a multi-specialty hospital in the Guruvar Peth/Station Road area of Sangli-Miraj, with a documented affiliated blood bank (Manas Blood Centre, run jointly with Jeevanraj Charitable Foundation). Exact bed capacity is not publicly disclosed on the official website or in available third-party sources. Because this is a small, single-super-speciality postgraduate medical institute rather than a large multi-course university, several data points that are readily available for large universities (NIRF-style rankings, published placement packages, formal scholarship schemes, hostel tariffs, and a machine-readable fee schedule) are simply not published by the institute or by third-party aggregators; these are left blank below rather than estimated or borrowed from unrelated institutions.
