As part of Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre’s commitment to continuously improving its services and bringing global technology to serve the local rural population, it undertakes various collaborations with leading international organisations. One such flagship collaboration project is with USA’s Stanford University, widely regarded as amongst the top educational institutes in the world.
Since 2018, experienced medical practitioners from Stanford University have been visiting the Hospital annually for a Symposium.
These State-Level Symposia were held at Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram and focused on various aspects of infant care. They were attended by senior doctors, gynaecologists and nurses from across the state of Gujarat.
2. Purdue University, USA
Purdue University, USA and Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre jointly conducted a clinical research study in the tribal areas of South Gujarat, which won the 1st prize in the Technology Accelerator Challenge organised by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA. This proposal documents the development and deployment of a ground-breaking technology to detect anaemia and sickle cell disease by analysing the photos of inner eyelids which can be taken by a smartphone.
