Medical Care Centre Trust is a Public Charitable Trust registered under Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950 (Reg. No. F-125) and also registered under Society Registration Act, 1860 (Reg. No.732).
Children Hospital was conceptualized as a service for the children with focus on the poor and the deprived section of the society. The school children participated in fund raising by collecting small donations Rs. Five to ten from their parents, ‘uncles’ and ‘aunties’. The hospital was named after the main donor but the children’s contribution was not forgotten. It was proudly displayed on the wall, the wards and rooms. They were named after the schools and the hospital was inaugurated by an unknown schoolgirl in year 1984.
