Why this hospital
Where you live should not decide whether you survive cancer
India ranks third in the world for cancer cases and loses 2,500 people to the disease every day. In rural South Gujarat, families have no cancer center nearby. Patients travel 100 to 300 kilometers, about 60 to 190 miles, to Surat, Navsari, or Vapi for treatment that can cost years of a family’s income. Many stop partway. Most are diagnosed only once the cancer is advanced.

Where it starts
A hospital built where there was none
Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital opened in 2004 with 40 beds, in a region where the nearest hospital was more than 100 kilometers away. Today it is a 250-bed charitable hospital, and its doctors already perform 200 cancer surgeries and more than 2,000 chemotherapy sessions a year.
The new cancer hospital adds what the region has never had: radiation therapy. Today a patient who needs it is sent to Navsari or Surat, hours away, and many never make the trip. With radiation on site, a patient can be screened, diagnosed, treated, and followed up in one place, by the same doctors, without leaving the district.
What your gift builds
Complete cancer care in one place
The Shrimad Rajchandra Sarvamangal Cancer Hospital is an 80,000 square foot hospital dedicated entirely to cancer, rising beside the existing hospital in Dharampur. Diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and comfort care, all under one roof, all free or deeply subsidized.
Radiation therapy
A linear accelerator, brachytherapy, and PET scanning on site, so patients no longer travel hours for radiation.
Cancer surgery
Two operating theaters dedicated to cancer surgery, including robotic-assisted procedures.
Chemotherapy
A chemotherapy day care unit, a 10-bed cancer ICU, and a histopathology lab for diagnosis.
Palliative care
Pain management, counseling, and dignity for patients and their families.

One patient’s story
Madhubhai came for a check‑up. He left with a second chance.
Madhubhai, a farmer from rural Gujarat, had chewed tobacco for decades, as many men in the region do. At one of SRLC’s mega medical camps, a routine screening found oral cancer. He received life-saving surgery at Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital, full follow-up treatment, and counseling for the fear that comes with a diagnosis like his. He paid nothing.
Madhubhai’s cancer was caught in time and could be treated with surgery. For the patients who also need radiation, the nearest machine is still hours away. Your gift closes that distance.
