Shri Atul Patel greeted all the employees for entering the golden era of healthcare. He said that Charutar Arogya Mandal made gradual progress and increased its facilities. They would soon inaugurate the Amrita Patel Centre for Public Health, he added. The Centre would offer training and capacity-building programmes that would enable and strengthen the capabilities of all cadres of professionals working for public health. Shri Patel said that they would also create the facilities of the True Beam linear Accelerator and PET Scan at the cancer centre. He added that we will start the evening OPD at the privileged centre from 5 pm to 7 pm on 1st August 2023.

Shri Jagrut Bhatt said that Late Dr. HM Patel formed that institute in the year 1972 with the vision of providing comprehensive and compassionate health care to everyone and anyone who would need it. The institute was genuinely a venture of faith, starting with a 136-bed hospital in a place that was once not ideal for the availability of resources and personnel, but was taking gigantic leaps of growth while fighting with all sorts of challenges and hurdles, and was nothing short of a fable. Shree Krishna Hospital is now a NABH-accredited 1000-bed hospital with the facility of cardiac, cancer, bone marrow transplant, and critical care, he added.

He said that Mandal focused on education too, along with health care. The first education institute was started with a nursing college and it is now a prestigious Bhaikaka University imparting health education.
