Dear Sir,

" I have no faith in a religion or God that can not share the suffering of the poor, can not help the handicapped, and can not take care ot ill people. Religion, to me, is the selfless desire to do something for the other.Religion means caring for others."

So said Swami Vivekananda. The modern and well-equipped Manilal Rikhavchand Kothari Lions Orthopaedic and General Hospital at Navsari upholds this saying by Swami Vivekananda, and it is truly a site of pilgrimage and particulary for every Lion member.

Every small step is a beginning towards a great deed. This hospital initally was started as a small physiotherapy unit in 1978. This auspicious work led to a flow of donations and by 1990 this Hospital came into being costing around one crore rupees.

Dr.Paritosh Bhatt, an Orthopaedic surgeon, has been providinghis service for the last four years. Having been trained under world famous Polio Surgeon Dr.Adinarayan Rao from Visakhapattanam, he has done more than four hundred polio operations so far. He has also performed several orthopaedic surgeries and Elizorav operations successfully. Dr. Suresh Tejwani, a physiotherapist providing his kind services for the last nineteen years of which ne physiotherapy unit for twelve years, and with the hospital for the last seven years. About twenty four visiting consultants and specialists have been affiliated with different departments in this hospital. The hospital has also organised various camps and seminars by several specialists free of charge.

To serve the poor is to serve God. Those who offer happiness to people in despair and wipe tears of the sufferers experience the richness ot life. For the last seven years we have been trying to materialize this motto. We have been looking for ways to support the poor and help Polio patients regain their self-sufficiency. The trustees of this hospital visit the patients everyday, morning and evening, to assure adequate welfare. Fifty percent beds are made free on a permenant basis specific motive of helping poor. Similarly, polio operations are done at no cost to the patients. Last year we held more than three hundred polio operations free of charge, and we expect to continue our work at that rate.

Naturally this kind of work requires a sizeable fund to take care of huge expenses. A new project has been undertaken to the tune of about Rs. 1,56,80,000 for this very purpose.


Yours Sincerely,

Kumarpal R. Shah,
Chairman.
