Socio-economic background of people served
The main philosophy behind the establishment of this institute has been to bring modern medical care to patients with limited or no financial resources. By and large, we have been successful in implementing this philosophy that we prescribe.
A substantial percentage of patients (about 60%) are admitted / investigated / operated at concessional or no cost. The hospital bears an annual burden of Rs.10 million on account of this. Against this expenditure, our revenue consists mainly of donations from charitable and philanthropic organizations and individuals. The Government of Gujarat supports by giving 80 % of the salary expenditure.
