Foundation of G K General Hospital
The GAIMS, originally known as G K General Hospital, was built in 1956 with a generous donation from Shri Gordhan Khetsi. Initially intended to serve the local community, the hospital became a vital healthcare facility in Bhuj. However, the devastating earthquake of 2001 in Gujarat wreaked havoc, destroying the hospital and leaving the community in despair.
Promise of Rebuilding
In the wake of the earthquake, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India, visited the site and promised the local people that the hospital would be rebuilt along with the establishment of a medical college. Although the promise was partially fulfilled in 2004 with the reopening of a 300-bed hospital, the dream of establishing a medical college remained unfulfilled..
Establishment of GAIMS: Public-Private Partnership Initiative
In 2008, the government renewed its efforts to establish a medical college by seeking a strong private partner to manage the G K General Hospital on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis. Despite numerous challenges, the Adani Group stepped forward, demonstrating its commitment to corporate social responsibility. This partnership led to the creation of the Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences (GAIMS) in 2009, making it the first successful PPP in healthcare in India.
