Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical diagnostic tool, but its high cost in private hospitals makes it unaffordable for lower-income groups. To resolve this, Chhanyado launched the **Aatmajyoti MRI Centre** in 2008 under a unique Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model with the Government of Gujarat.
Inaugurated by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi, the center is located inside the New Civil Hospital Campus, Surat. Equipped with high-tech 1.5 Tesla scanner systems, we perform dozens of scans daily.
Our pricing is carefully structured to prioritize the poorest sections of society. The rates are fixed as follows:
| Category | Scan Charge | Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| BPL Cardholders | 100% FREE | Holders of Below Poverty Line ration cards. |
| HIV / Special Cases | 100% FREE | Patients referred by ICTC / Civil Hospital ART centers. |
| General Public | ₹2,500 - ₹3,000 | Standard price (approx 50% discount compared to private labs). |
We employ qualified clinical radiologists and technicians. All scans are double-checked, and standard DICOM-compliant report printouts/films are provided within 24 hours of scanning.
