The Hospital has made tremendous economic and social impacts on the host community. Firstly, it has placed the name of the community on the world map. Visitors from Europe and other continents come regularly to the Hospital. Some medical students from England chose to do their elective courses and acquire experience on tropical medicine in the Hospital. Doctors, Nurses and other medical personnel from England elect to come to the Hospital for their sabbatical.

Secondly, the Hospital premises has become a beehive of economic activities thereby providing employment for men and women trading on food items, provisions, recharge cards, fruits and vegetables. A number of eating houses have sprung up in the Hospital providing food for the patients who cannot prepare their own food.
