The services provided by the hospital are highly subsidised and about 30 % of the patients from the economically weaker sections of society are provided free treatment, including medicines. The treatment of critically ill children requires that the hospital be equipped with sophisticated diagnostic and life-saving equipment which requires the continuous and increasing inflow of funds.

In an effort to cater to the ever increasing demand for the various services and with a genuine concern not to pass on the escalating cost to the patients, the Medical Care Centre Trust seeks the help of donors through various schemes such as:

  1. Adopt a patient: Any person can adopt a patient by contributing Rs. 500.
  2. K.G. Patel Children Hospital has a relief fund to provide free medicines to extremely poor patients. One can donate Rs. 1,000 every year to join the welfare scheme.
  3. Larger donations are also welcome and appreciated.

Donations help to supplement the existing facilities and services. Funds are also needed to purchase equipment and medicines as well as to strengthen the manpower and infrastructure.

In the immediate future, the hospital needs the following equipment, which costs approximately Rs. 10 million.
