A place which would serve
as an oasis for women and children in this semi-desert area
where no medical facilities were available for hundreds of
miles all around for the pregnant ladies and children died
of common illnesses just because of the lack of proper medication
and treatment, was dreamt by a few philanthropic souls of
this little town with a population of no more than 15 thousand
rustic folks.
This same facility, which started as a dispensary with a
single lady doctor then, has a staff of highly qualified doctors
and nurses and a provision of ultramodern facilities providing
treatment at nominal rates to the poor and underprivileged
class of the society without any discrimination of class,
creed or religion. This is the saga of Palanpur Female
Hospital.
To complete the present
renovation work of the proposed K.D. Parikh General
Surgical & Medical Female Hospita Palanpur at
the total cost for Rs. 93 lacs including 47 lacs towards
construction work, 16 lacs. Towards furniture and 30
lacs towards purchase of medical instruments. We have
received donation amounting to Rs. 50 lacs from the
K.D. Parikh Parivar Trust and so far
expenditure to the tune of Rs.18,03,423/- has been incurred
towards renovation work. We have requested Shri
K.D. Parikh Trust to extend the amount of the
donation, if possible.
