GKSF was established in year 2006 with a mission to be a leader and provide Premier Lithotripsy care in mobile van to the patient under pain at his doorstep in the state of Gujarat. GKSF was a brain child of Urologist Dr Ketan Shukla based at Ahmedabad [Gujarat, INDIA]
The whole idea was to provide additional services to the patients at their doorstep. We intend to give the best of facilities and urology services which are provided in renowned hospitals today to patients living in areas where they don’t have access to the same.
