Biography

  It is almost one year, since I took over the charge of Director, Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute. I have served this institute since 1985 in various capacities, but after holding the highest position of administration, I got opportunity to see the management and patient care aspect of this largest cancer care centre, very closely. The biggest strength of GCRI is its patient flow. Though the largest number of patients attending GCRI is from Gujarat, 18% are from neighboring states of Rajasthan, MP, Maharashtra and even Bihar. Almost 21% patients are from city of Ahmedabad. It is not only number, which is increasing by 3 to 5 % every year, it reflects their faith in the healthcare system of GCRI, which brings them to us for treatment. MA Yojana, Low Income Group scheme and other Govt-Schemes have boost up our scope of serving the people from lower socio-economic strata, which is the mission of GCRI, “To serve one & all”. About 17% of patients we treat belong to MA yojana and 23% patients are getting benefit of other schemes of Central and State Government. This gives us ample opportunity to serve underprivileged, which should not be deprived of their right to have equal opportunity to healthcare. They are receiving treatment for their Cancer at par with any other corporate Cancer Center, having technically advanced cancer treatment facility.
