SAVING LIVES
Healthcare for all
THE KAKADIA HOSPITAL, AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT
Residents of Bapunagar, a small village in rural Gujarat, and surrounding villages had to travel long distances to get access to good healthcare facilities. The Government-owned Hospitals then often lacked adequate medical infrastructure and good hygiene. Additionally, most of the private hospitals were often not accessible by rural crowds. Given these circumstances, Sheetal Group took the initiative to provide quality healthcare to these underserved citizens. This led to the establishment of the not-for-profit hospital named the 'Kakadia Hospital', in Ahmedabad. The objective of the hospital was to provide low-cost, quality healthcare to those in need. Today, the hospital can accommodate up to 90 patients, and offers 24x7 emergency service. The hospital treated over 36,000 patients in the year 2012
