In 1979, the International Year of the Child, some like-minded citizens and a few idealistic doctors conceived an idea of serving children by building a hospital for them. As a result of this, the K.G. Patel Children Hospital under the care of Medical Care Centre Trust was inaugurated in 1984. Since then there has been no looking back.
The hospital has 100 beds for paediatric patients and treats over 50,000 patients annually with the support of donors. But to enlarge the field of activity for many more patients in Gujarat and surrounding areas, modernisation and development is the cherished dream of the Medical Care Centre Trust.
The Central Government has recognised the contribution of the K.G. Patel Children Hospital to the cause of children by awarding the National Award for Child Welfare in 1990 to the Trust's President, Mrs. Arunaben Mehta. The institution also received the Gujarat State award in 1992.
Keeping in view the special bond shared between the child and the mother, it was imperative that Surajben Gordhanbhai Patel Women's Hospital was started in 1990 with 35 beds to cater to the health needs of women.
Both the hospitals form an integrated system, are secular in character and treat 30 % of the patients free of cost - including the 15 % of patients who are given free medicines also.
