“प्रत्येकं मातापिता स्वसन्ततिं स्वस्थं द्रष्टुम् इच्छति “means Every Parent wants to see their children Healthy & Happy. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same for Shri. Bharat bhai Shah and Smt. Neela Shah tragically lost their two young children due to a severe genetic disease called muscular dystrophy (MD), which causes the skeletal muscles in the arms, legs, and spine to become gradually deformed and may also cause some cognitive impairment. The final phases of the illness are characterized by severe respiratory and cardiac issues. Of all the Odds, they also had to endure suffering from this condition and social rejection. None helped this family, which motivated them to create a Trust to aid other families dealing with Muscular Dystrophy. IMDS was hence established with the aim of giving a Ray of Hope to the patients of Muscular Dystrophy and their families.
By drawing inspiration from the late Shri Raman Bhai Patel, the thoughtful trustee Shri B.S. Shah (Advocate) founded this trust, which is being supported by Joint Managing Trustee (Clinical) Dr J.J. Mehta. Additionally supporting this institute are Late Shri Dr G. D. Raval, Dr Sanjay Parikh, Dr Yatin Desai, and Mukesh Patel, an industrialist. The registration number for this trust in Ahmedabad under the Bombay Public Charitable Trust Act is E-7420, 1989. The trust is free from taxation under section 80-G.
The founder of the group was Advocate Mr. Bharat Shantilal Shah, who conceptualized the admirable idea of identifying, treating, and rehabilitating people with Muscular Dystrophy. His goal is to establish a research centre where this type of genetic condition will be appropriately diagnosed, managed, and treated. A voluntary non-profit Trust, the Indian Muscular Dystrophy Society (IMDS) and Research Centre. Dedicated scientists, concerned people, and medical professionals all support IMDS. Individuals with this condition of any age can receive complete care and facilities in IMDS. One of the accomplishments is that IMDS has not yet received any government grants.
An effective teamwork is now globally recognized as an essential tool for constructing a more effective and patient-centred health care delivery system. Gone are the days when a doctor was solely able to deliver a quality care to his patients.
A dedicated team of doctors, genetic counsellor, researchers, physiotherapists and volunteers work selflessly at IMDS.
Each member of our team uses their own unique backgrounds and experiences but they all share a common passion for improving the lives of those affected by Muscular dystrophy.
