Although there is only a relatively small Emergency Room with 4 trauma trolleys (currently 2 operational equipped with monitoring facilities and piped medical gases), its existence is of considerable importance as the hospital is located very close to a major highway project connecting the Central Gujarat to Saurashtra (Anand-Tarapur-Bagodara) Highway.

Patients who have Below-the-Poverty-Line (BPL) cards get 10% additional discount on generic medicines and 5% on branded medicines. Patients are also provided 30% discount on all investigations and BPL patients 40% discount. Radiological services, x-ray and sonography, are are provided at Rs.100 and Rs.200 per test respectively.

For in-patient treatment, the hospital has adopted a practice, “Pay It Forward”, that is used in some service sector non-profit settings, though not in hospitals. When a patient requires admission to hospital for treatment, no charges are taken. During the treatment, the patient pays for medicines and consumables as and when required and at the end of the treatment, she is provided with the bill of unpaid services only for her to know the cost of her treatment. She is not asked to pay the bill as the previous patient who took the same treatment has already paid for her treatment, but is asked whether she would like to consider contributing for the next patient in the same way and whatever contribution that the patient considers providing, is accepted without demur. This helps the hospital provide treatment to indigent patients while protecting their dignity and also in evaluating patient satisfaction as only those who are satisfied and also in a position to pay would contribute for care of other patients.
