ABOUT YMT |
The idea of forming Yerala
Medical Trust and Research Centre was
conceived in 1989 by Dr. Gajanan D.
Pol. Before the inspection of the
Trust, Dr. Pol had been practicing
successfullly as a General
Practitioner at Currey Road in
Mumbai.
Dr. Pol belongs to a small village
Saspade in Sangli District of
Maharashtra. The name Yerala comes
from the name of the river Yerala
that flows through this village and
is a source of life to the village.
the local people of this village have
alsways looked upon Dr. Pol as Role
Model and they encouraged him to name
this institute after the river Yerala.
During his practice Dr. Pol got
acquainted with Late Mr. Arun Mehta,
then M.L.C. of Maharashtra state who
saw in Dr. Pol a spirit to do
something creative for the poor and
needy people in Currey Road, Parel,
Lalbaug and Shivdi area and hence
they thought of starting a Hospital
for the poor and needy people who can
avail medical services at low rates
and hence Yerala Medical Trust was
born in 1989. |
