Fulfilling a Lifesaving Dream
Two decades ago, patients suffering from kidney diseases in Kutch had no choice but to travel over 400 kilometers to cities like Nadiad, Ahmedabad, or Rajkot for dialysis treatment. Witnessing the hardships faced by these patients, our Chairman, MJF Lion Bharat A.D. Mehta, envisioned a solution: establishing a dialysis center within Kutch.
His dream became a reality, and today, we proudly provide free dialysis sessions, ensuring that the people of Kutch receive the care they need without the burden of travel or cost.
At LNM Group Lions Hospital, we remain steadfast in our mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality healthcare to every individual, reaffirming our commitment to the betterment of our community.
Our Story : LNM Group Lions Hospital & Research Center
In the aftermath of the devastating January 26, 2001, earthquake that shook Kutch, the region faced immense challenges in rebuilding and providing healthcare to its people. Recognizing this critical need, Mr. Lakshmi Narayan Mittal, famously known as Asia’s “Steel King,” envisioned a state-of-the-art hospital to serve the people of Kutch and aid in their recovery.
After conducting a thorough survey of Kutch, Mr. Mittal identified the Lions Club of Bhuj as a trusted organization to manage and operate this hospital. The Lions Club, with its proven track record of service, was the ideal partner to bring this ambitious vision to life.
Simultaneously, the then Governor of Lions Clubs International District 3232-J, MJF Lion Bharat A.D. Mehta, played a pivotal role in securing a substantial donation from the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). His tireless efforts and dedication ensured that the financial resources required for this noble project were realized.
With the combined support of these two visionary contributions, the LNM Group Lions Hospital & Research Center was established in Rawalwadi, a serene and picturesque hilly area within Bhuj city, on April 11, 2004.
Over the years, the hospital has grown into a trusted institution, dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible healthcare to the people of Kutch. Our core philosophy revolves around serving humanity selflessly, ensuring that even the most vulnerable sections of society receive medical attention.
