Located in the cultural and historical city of Nadiad, Gujarat, Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital (MPUH) is one of the leading transplant centers in India and world-wide. The institution was created keeping in mind the absence of facilities to treat patients in a private practice in the area and a dream to establish a center that could do justice to the needy population with highest degree of care. The founding team comprised of Dr. Virendra Desai, Urologist, and philanthropist Shri Jayaramdas Patel. They were ably supported by Shri Occhavlal Parikh and Shri Prahlad Patel.
Dr. Desai sacrificed his overseas luring future to come back to his home town and utilize the acquired talent to benefit his own people, which lead him to this establishment. Shri Jayaramdas saw it as a tribute to his father Shri Muljibhai Patel. The dream took form and the hospital was inaugurated by the then President of India ‘Shri Neelam Sanjiva Reddy’ on 19th March 1978.
