Charutar Arogya Mandal, Gujarat
Annamrita-ISKCON Food Relief Foundation, Mumbai Charutar Arogya Mandal (CAM) is a project that was founded in 1972 by Dr H M Patel, a former Union Finance and Home Minister with the goal of providing comprehensive and personalized healthcare that was affordable to everyone. Today, the Trust manages a full-fledged medical college, hospital and other medical centres, all while staying true to the original goal of maintaining quality and affordable healthcare.

Some of the facilities under CAM include:

  • Patient Care: The H M Patel Centre for Medical Care and Education and the Shree Krishna Hospital at Karamsad, through many of its special programmes attempts to provide its services to economically challenged persons in a subsidized manner.
  • Medical Education: The Educational Institutions at CAM aim to go beyond conventional education to design programmes that prepare students to become competent medical professionals who are more skill-based and innovative. CAM hopes to extend their educational system to other vocations like physiotherapy, nursing and medical technology.
  • Community Extension: CAM aspires to be a part of the public health initiatives by managing extension health centres. Under its ambit, they currently run five such centres and provide indoor care. They also run various Krupa Schemes (in-house healthcare schemes) that provide indoor treatment worth Rs 5,000 per annum for a sum of Rs 99.

CAM stands firm in its vision: to be a shining example of what the profession of medicine is supposed to be - noble, deeply rooted in providing solace to the suffering and continuously upgrading itself to serve the humanity.
