A sapling named Rajkot Cancer Society was planted in 1969 on the day of Vijaydashmi by few medicos, elite Social workers from different walks of Society, which was watered & nurtured by donors and has sprang up today in the form of Comprehensive Cancer Center catering to the needs of Cancer patients of Saurashtra & Kutchhh.
The Journey from a Diagnostic center to a full fledged Comprehensive Cancer Center has been traveled & witnessed by founder Chairman Shri Pranlalbhai Joshi, Dr. Pravinbhai Doshi, Dr. Trilokbhai Shah, Dr. Amulakh Silhar, Shri Umakant Pandit, Shri Kishore P. Ghiya, Dr. R. L. Shah, Shri Shivlalbhai Worah. Smt. Hiraben K. Sheth. They all had very clear vision & concept that middle & poor class cancer patients were not able take treatment as it was out of their reach & therefore our aim should be to create a Cancer Hospital which can provide good quality treatment within reasonable cost, which can be further subsidized to poor patients. Rajkot Cancer Society has been able to fulfill this goal. Although the cost of treatment has gone very high, we make our all efforts that no patient should go back without reasonable treatment. |
