The Mathura Elephant Hospital, in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, is India’s first dedicated medical facility for elephants. Established by the conservation organization Wildlife SOS in November 2018, it provides specialized care for elephants that suffer from injuries, malnutrition, and diseases due to years of exploitation and neglect.
It is equipped with advanced medical facilities tailored to the specific needs of elephants including digital X-ray machines, ultrasound and laser therapy units, and hydrotherapy pools. These tools enable veterinarians to provide comprehensive care, from diagnosing bone injuries to treating chronic pain and facilitating physical rehabilitation. The hospital also boasts of large enclosures where the elephants can recover in a stress-free environment.
Long-term rehabilitation is also an important part of the center. Many animals treated here have experienced severe trauma, and the veterinarians and elephant care specialists work tirelessly to help them regain their health and confidence. The facility is also involved in broader conservation efforts, including the establishment of sanctuaries where rescued elephants can live in peace.
The hospital also regularly hosts workshops and training sessions for veterinarians, mahouts (elephant caretakers), and the public, aiming to promote better understanding and care of these majestic creatures.
The Mathura Elephant Hospital stands as a symbol of hope and progress in the fight to protect and rehabilitate India’s elephants, offering them a chance at a better, healthier life.
