The
origin of Bhaktivedanta Hospital lies in the vision
of a few dedicated doctors. Way back in 1986,
immediately after completing their specializations
in various medical fields, a dream weaved the
association of a few like-minded doctors together.
The collective dream was to provide quality healthcare
to the medically deprived people at a very affordable
cost. |
This group of doctors began their endeavor by
taking medical camps to various areas in and around
Maharashtra to serve the many who had virtually
no access to modern medical care. Many years of
dedicated service to thousands of patients saw
the birth of ‘Sri Chaitanya Clinic’
(now Gauranga Clinic), a small clinic in Mira
Road, in a distant suburb of Thane, near Mumbai.
Time has seen the 7-bed clinic grow to a state-of-the-art
79-bed hospital catering to the community of Mira-Bhayandar
Road.
Bhaktivedanta Hospital services over 1.5 million
people in its catchment area within a radius of
10 kilometers. Hospital offers twin advantage
of ultra-modern medicine together with the ancient
knowledge of different alternative therapies to
provide a holistic approach to patient care.
Department of Spiritual Care fully equipped with
counselors and nurses attend to the mental trauma
of patients and their families. Many cases of
alcohol & drug abuse have been treated successfully
through this department. Treating the mind and
the soul along with ailments of the body are integrated
to provide complete healing to the patients.
Bhaktivedanta Hospital takes the onus of it being
a pillar of the Mira-Bhayandar community with
pride. It has initiated various services like
the Green Paper forum (aimed at making Mira Road
area better through collective participation)
and many free medical camps.
The hospital is run by the Sri Chaitanya Welfare
Trust under the chairmanship of Mr. Rajeev Srivastava,
and a cohesive group of Trustees who provide the
required strategy and guidance for growth. Our
motto of ‘Serving in Devotion’ is
followed in spirit by all the 285 staff and the
100 consulting specialists of the hospital.
To keep pace with changing times, the hospital
continuously augments its equipment, infrastructure
and services. For Bhaktivedanta, primarily "a-not-for-profit"
institution is possible only with the help of
philanthropic and committed donors and supporters.
