The story of the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust began with a simple contribution to a generous cause.
The late Mrs. Menaben, mother of the late Mr. Kirtilal Manilal Mehta, was a dynamic woman who believed in the ultimate power of giving back to the society by donating food, money, and building a sustainable future for the underprivileged.
She handed a sum of ₹1,000 to her grandson, Mr. Kishor Kirtilal Mehta. He along with his wife Mrs. Charu Mehta, and the Late Mrs. Rekha Sheth further contributed to the legacy of care, and made a permanent mark on the history of the healthcare sector of India.
