The three-week camp organised at Bidada village by Shree Bidada Sarvodaya Trust will treat more than 30,000 patients free of charge.
A medical team comprising 50 local doctors and 85 volunteers from the US, many of who were born in Gujarat, have offered their free services to the camp.
The volunteers from the US are also raising funds for the camp and other activities of the trust, a statement issued here said.
