Surat Hospital additions
Currently admissions are available to community members only, though members of sister communities can avail of certain outpatient services like X-rays and sonography. In a letter dated September 29, 2020 to the community, Dotivala had stated that "it is becoming very difficult to manage the Hospital and provide service to the community.” It was proposed to "apply to the Charity Commissioner’s office to allow us to convert the Hospital to a cosmopolitan one, once we get a firm confirmation of a sizeable donation of about five crore rupees (USD 683,428) for the first phase of the repairs and renovations of the existing buildings.” Dotivala told Parsiana that the application has not been made yet.
Our Parsi Zoroastrian Trust Funds established in US, Canada, UK, Hong Kong Macao and so many individual Zoroastrians are awaiting to donate for the noble cause of revival and upgradation of this 101 years old philanthropic Institution - Sheth R.D.Tarachand Surat Parsi General Hospital. But they can't donate funds in absence of FCRA permission. Trustees of the hospital management - Surat Parsi Panchayat and Properties Funds are once again requested to come forward for this noble cause, leave colonialism imperialism and nepotism in overall administration of Surat's Parsi Panchayat under influence of Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, Chairman and Cotrustees of the Parsee Surat Charity Funds (Mumbai) and act with righteousness, transparency and effectively. CEO appointed at Surat's Parsi Panchayat is permanent resident of Mumbai. There are so many intelligent Officers at Surat to serve as SPP CEO. Hospital management should scrutinize themselves why Parsis are not coming to Hospital for treatment.
