13 Mar 2007 — Nurses at the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai learn "Spiritual First Aide" from the Scientology Volunteer Ministers India Goodwill Tour
 
With their tradition of understanding the importance of the spiritual needs of patients, the nurses of the Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai embraced Scientology assists technology as an important tool to help speed their patients' recovery.

The Scientology Assists Workshop was provided by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers India Goodwill Tour.

Early in his research into life and the spirit, L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, discovered that addressing the spiritual and emotional factors underlying illness and accidents can not only greatly speed recovery, it is sometimes necessary for a patient to recover at all.

Mr. Hubbard developed dozens of procedures called Scientology assists that address a wide array of conditions. Simple to learn and use, many of these are covered in the Scientology Handbook.

The Nanavati Hospital has a long humanitarian tradition of caring for the needs of the community. It was inaugurated over half a century ago by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of the Republic of India, in keeping with the vision of Mahatma Gandhi. In fact, the first patient in the hospital was treated free of charge — an Harijan, a term meaning "child of God," coined in 1931 by Gandhi to stand for those earlier deemed "untouchable."

Optimism runs high as the nurses at the Nanavati Hospital realize the value of Scientology assist technology.

The hospital's Blessed Teresa Pediatric Centre is a testament to the special relationship the hospital had with Mother Teresa, who began bringing children there for care in 1962. This children's ward provides free or affordable quality medical care for disadvantaged children.

L. Ron Hubbard once wrote, "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance." Through their work with the Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour the nurses of the Nanavati Hospital, committed to easing suffering, have now been empowered with new tools to help them accomplish their purpose.
