Providing Ethical Care

- 

What made JK Group focus more on philanthropic programmes, particularly in healthcare? Why did you decide to set up a hospital?

JK Group is committed to serve the society around it in various fields, including education and healthcare. Healthcare has always been in our core agenda. When we moved to Delhi in 1996 from Kolkata, while analysing the then prevailing healthcare scenario, we realised that there was a gap in the treatment facilities of digestive disorders. Data showed that about 70 percent of the population was suffering from gastro related ailments, and yet, there was no specialised centre to take care of renal and digestive diseases. We envisioned the idea of PSRI – to establish a world class tertiary care centre for Gastroenterology, Nephrology, GI Surgery and Urology - a super speciality centre, first of its kind in South East Asia. Our main motive to establish PSRI was to create a centre of excellence in healthcare domain and provide a quality, ethical and affordable healthcare which created reliability, trust and goodwill among patients.
