Surat Civil Hospital News: In a significant step towards improving healthcare accessibility, Dr. Faruk G. Patel, Chairman and Managing Director of KP Group, has donated three golf carts to Surat New Civil Hospital. The initiative aims to make transportation easier for patients, senior citizens, and differently-abled individuals who often struggle to move across the hospital’s vast campus.
Patients No Longer Need to Walk Long Distances
Surat New Civil Hospital spans a massive campus with multiple buildings housing different departments, diagnostic centers, laboratories, and treatment units. Until now, patients often had to walk long distances under the scorching sun to move from one building to another for:
- Medical consultations
- Diagnostic tests
- Laboratory reports
- X-rays and scans
- Pharmacy services
- Follow-up appointments
For elderly patients, critically ill individuals, and those with mobility issues, this journey was physically exhausting. The newly donated golf carts will now provide a convenient transport facility within the hospital premises.
Dr. Faruk Patel Extends Support to Public Healthcare
Known for his contributions to social welfare and community development, Dr. Faruk Patel has once again demonstrated his commitment to public service by supporting Surat’s healthcare infrastructure. The donation reflects his vision of making essential services more accessible, especially for economically weaker sections who rely on government hospitals for treatment.
Hospital authorities appreciated the initiative, stating that such support significantly improves the patient experience.
Three Golf Carts to Improve Internal Transportation
The newly introduced golf carts will primarily be used to transport:
- Senior citizens
- Pregnant women
- Patients with disabilities
- Seriously ill patients
- Individuals recovering from surgery
- Family members accompanying critical patients when required
The service is expected to reduce physical strain while helping patients reach departments more quickly.
A Major Relief During Summer and Monsoon
Walking across the large hospital campus can become particularly difficult during:
- Extreme summer heat
- Heavy monsoon rainfall
- Medical emergencies
- Post-operative recovery
The golf carts are expected to provide much-needed comfort during these challenging conditions while ensuring timely access to medical services.
Surat Civil Hospital Serves Thousands Daily
Surat New Civil Hospital is among Gujarat’s busiest government healthcare institutions, catering to thousands of patients every day from:
- Surat city
- Tapi district
- Navsari

With such a large patient footfall, internal transportation has long been considered an important requirement.
Healthcare Infrastructure Gets a Boost
Hospital officials believe the addition of golf carts will enhance overall hospital operations by:
- Reducing patient fatigue
- Improving accessibility
- Saving time between departments
- Providing better support to vulnerable patients
- Enhancing patient satisfaction
The initiative also complements ongoing efforts to modernize healthcare services within the hospital.
Community-Oriented Corporate Contribution
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives continue to play an important role in strengthening public healthcare infrastructure. The contribution by KP Group highlights how private organizations can support government hospitals through practical solutions that directly benefit patients.
