At Sankalp India Foundation, we believe that every child living with thalassemia deserves timely, safe, and compassionate care. Our day care centres are built on this promise, and with each expansion, we take a step closer to reaching more families in need. We are proud to share that our Rajkot Day Care Centre has now grown into a 20-bed facility—a milestone that marks a significant leap in our ability to serve the thalassemia community in Gujarat.
A Stronger Centre for a Growing Need
The Saurashtra region of Gujarat is home to a large number of thalassemia patients, many of whom travel long distances for regular transfusions and treatment. With rising demand, the need for a larger, better-equipped centre became clear. This expansion ensures that no child is turned away due to space limitations and that families have access to care that is both efficient and dignified.
Facilities Designed for Comfort and Care
The upgraded Rajkot centre is more than just bigger—it is designed to provide a holistic experience of care:
- 20 Dedicated Beds: Doubling our capacity to serve patients simultaneously, reducing waiting times and ensuring smoother transfusion schedules.
- Spacious Waiting Rooms: Providing families with a comfortable environment as they wait for their child’s treatment.
- On-Site Canteen: Ensuring nutritious meals and refreshments for patients and caregivers during long hospital visits.
- Essential Amenities: Thoughtfully planned spaces that prioritise hygiene, safety, and patient comfort.
Impact on the Community
With this upgrade, the Rajkot Day Care Centre is now better positioned to meet the needs of families across the Saurashtra region. More children will receive timely transfusions, parents will experience reduced stress from long waiting periods, and the centre will continue to be a place where patients find both medical care and emotional support.
Continuing the Mission
For us, this expansion is not just about infrastructure—it is about impact. Every additional bed means a child who receives blood on time. Every new facility means a family who feels cared for. And every milestone like this strengthens our collective mission of building a thalassemia-free India.
We are grateful to our partners, supporters, and the incredible medical team in Rajkot who made this growth possible. Together, we are turning challenges into opportunities and ensuring that hope shines brighter for thalassemia patients in Gujarat.
