About Muni Seva Ashram [ Kailash Cancer Hospital and Research Centre]:
Pujya Anuben Thakkar came to Goraj in 1980 and looking at the plight of the people of this area she called on doctors from Vadodara to provide a weekly health care camp and gradually MSA began to give basic medical facilities to the people of southwestern Gujarat. iN 1981 A small dispensary as started and gradually with the support of philanthropists, a 95 bed ultra modern hospital, Akshar Purshottam Arogya Mandir was established in 1988.
The people of this area had to travel long distance like Ahmedabad and Mumbai for advanced treatment for disease like Cancer which was not possible for them due to financial and other constraints. So in 2001 Pujya Shree Anuben Thakkar and Dr.Vikram Patel decide to build a State of Art Hospital which will provide the people of this area excellent health services under one roof and this laid the foundation to Kailash Cancer Hospital & Research Centre. Unlike any other hospital, this hospital is situated in the rural area of Gujarat to serve the people of the region who are deprived of technologies and advanced facilities for the lack of knowledge and economic strength. At KCHRC offer specialised an basic treatment in nearly every branch of medicine.
