Shree Krishna Hospital

History

Charutar Arogya Mandal was set up in the year 1972 by the late Dr. HM Patel, India’s former Finance and Home Minister, to create an example of how the health-care needs of the rural community can be met. What has emerged over the years, is an institution that has created facilities and health-care infrastructure for a rural community that match with the best of those available to their urban counterparts and a network of educational institutions that graduate hundreds of health-care professionals.

From its humble origin as a 136-bed health care facility, Shree Krishna Hospital, managed by the Charutar Arogya Mandal has grown to a 1000-bed NABH accredited institute today, which, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities renders professional services. It has been able to serve the community with a vision of, "Solace for the Suffering", envisioned by its founder Chairman, Dr HM Patel. We have added new features to our cap by adding an advanced CATH lab with high-tech echo machines to our Cardiac Centre and PET-SCAN facility to avoid the suffering for over 150 patients per month to travel to the nearby cities to get the precise analysis of their solid tumors.

Today, the hospital is considered one of the most well equipped rural health-care centres in Gujarat, with facilities such as Cardiac Centre, state-of-the-art Cancer Centre with 2 Linear Accelerators for radiotherapy, Bone Marrow Transplant, Trauma Centre, 170 ICU beds (which include the 120-bed Critical Care Centre, equipped with a CRRT machine), modern NICU facility, 34-bed Dialysis Centre, 21 Operation Theatres, NABL accredited labs, including a Molecular Lab, NABH accredited Blood Bank, Diagnostics facility including a 3 Tesla MRI machine & CT-Scan, and a 24x7 Pharmacy, all located in a lush green 100 acre campus.

Supporting the Community

The motto of our 1,000-bed, NABH - accredited Shree Krishna Hospital is to provide “Solace to the Suffering.” Over the past five decades, we have treated more than 9.5 million patients with empathy and personalized care. Today, our tertiary care center, offering 20 super-specialties, serves over half a million outpatients and over 79,000 inpatients annually, and performs around 10000 surgeries of various types.

The various welfare programmes that the Hospital has undertaken placed a large burden of costs on its resources, about Rs 55 crore last year. We have been able to provide much of this support through generous and continuous contributions we receive from donors like you. As a policy: “Those who are indigent and not in a position to pay for their treatment are not turned away just because they cannot afford treatment costs”. They are provided uniform quality treatment.
