Established in 1984, Karuna Setu Trust was founded by the visionary humanitarian Late Dr. Vasant Parikh and Late Smt. Ratnaprabhaben Parikh with a mission to make quality healthcare, education, and compassionate service accessible to all.
Over the past four decades, the Trust has evolved into a unique centre of Ayurvedic excellence, integrating Vasant Prabha Ayurvedic Hospital, Dr. Vasant Parikh Ayurvedic Medical College, a Botanical Herbal Garden, an Ayurvedic Pharmacy, and a Gaushala within a single campus. This integrated ecosystem supports authentic Ayurvedic treatment, quality education, research, and sustainable healthcare.
At the heart of our institution lies a simple belief: healthcare is a service, not a business. Guided by this philosophy, NABH Accredited-Vasant Prabha Ayurvedic Hospital operates as a No Cash Counter Hospital, ensuring that compassionate, ethical, and patient-centred care remains accessible to those in need.
Today, Karuna Setu Trust continues to serve society by preserving the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda while nurturing future healthcare professionals, advancing research, and improving the health and well-being of communities.
