Prayerful Greetings from
Bishop’s House, Rajkot!
Let me take the liberty to
introduce myself to you. I am
the Bishop of the Diocese of
Rajkot in Gujarat. The Diocese
of Rajkot comprises 8
Districts of Saurashtra &
Kutch. It is a vast aria of
109,950sq.km. In size it is
more than half of the state of
Gujarat. Educationally and
Health Care it is an
undeveloped area. So the
diocese with the Mother N.G.O
Navjeevan Trust is engaged in
a big way in Education and
Health Care and developmental
activities.
We have over hundred
Dispensaries and Mobile
Clinics in the remote villages
of Saurashtra And Kutch. We
give care and support to
around 2500 HIV/AIDs patients
in 6 towns namely Rajkot,
Bhavnager, Jamnagar, Junagadh,
Kutch and Surendranager. We
give counseling to the
patients and their family
members and the neighbouring
people. Again we have 6
ten-bedded hospitals
exclusively for AID patients
namely Rajkot (2), Jamnager
(1), Kutch (1), And
Surendranagar (1) who are in
need of hospitalization. They
are provided with free
treatment with the help of
funding agencies. We try our
level best to bring health
care to remote villages where
there is no health care
facility. Now a days people
are in need of advanced
treatment.
Although we have a good
net-work of primary health
care facilities we don’t have
any hospital for advanced
treatment. So we have decided
to have full fledged
multi-specialty hospital in
Rajkot which is the geographic
capital of Sourashtra. It is a
rather big city. So we have
planned a Referral Hospital
called Christ Hospital with
some 500 beds. In the first
stage we will have 150 beds.
The construction is already
started. One wing of the
Christ Hospital will be set
apart for the treatment of
AIDs Patients.
As you know a modern hospital
with facilities for advanced
treatment involves huge
financial investment. I
enclose herewith the brochure
of the Christ Hospital. It is
self explanatory.
As Christ Referral Hospital is
public institution for the
health care of the public
especially for the
economically backward people
in the society we appeal to
the public for financial
support. So we take the
liberty to appeal to you to
help us with a onetime
financial assistance to put up
this Referral hospital in
Rajkot. It will definitely
benefit the enter people of
Saurashtra & Kutch. If you
need more details we would be
only happy to provide.
We would be ever grateful to
you for any help you provide.
So I request you to consider
our request favourably.
With my high regards,
Yours most sincerely’
Gregory Karotemprel CMI
Bishop of Rajkot |
