Jaslok Hospital

Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre is one of India's oldest and most distinguished tertiary care multi-specialty trust hospitals, located at Dr. G. Deshmukh Marg, Peddar Road in South Mumbai — with panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. The hospital was conceived in the late 1960s by Seth Lokoomal Chanrai, a philanthropist whose vision was to create an ultra-modern medical centre accessible to people of all races and creeds. It was inaugurated on 6th July 1973 by the late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Over five decades, Jaslok has grown into a 359-bed institution with 35+ established specialties, approximately 253 consultant doctors, 124 resident doctors, and 495 qualified nurses — attracting patients from across India and internationally. Jaslok Hospital is a non-profit charitable trust institution, consistently ranked among the best multi-specialty hospitals in Mumbai. It treats an estimated 200,000+ outpatients and 20,000+ inpatients annually, covering the full spectrum of tertiary care across 35 established departments. The hospital's location in Peddar Road, South Mumbai — with panoramic Arabian Sea views — provides one of the most distinctive settings of any major hospital in India. As a trust hospital, Jaslok maintains 36 Indigent Section and 36 Weaker Section beds for free-of-charge care, and extends concessions to senior citizens and patients referred through charitable institutions.

Jaslok Hospital offers a comprehensive range of 35+ specialties including cardiology with full cardiac catheterisation lab, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, neurology and neurosurgery (including neuroradiology and neurophysiology), oncology (surgical, medical, and radiation), nephrology, urology (with lithotripsy), gastroenterology, hepatology, pulmonology, orthopaedics and trauma, infertility management and assisted reproduction (IVF/ICSI), obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and neonatology, ENT, ophthalmology, imaging and interventional radiology (CT, MRI, mammography), nuclear medicine, genetics, psychiatry, endocrinology, plastic surgery, and dental surgery. Jaslok's cardiology department has been rated among the best in India in surveys by India Today and Outlook. Jaslok Hospital's Department of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics has been responsible for the birth of more than 2,000 babies and pioneered ICSI (micromanipulation) in South East Asia. The oncology programme encompasses medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology (LINAC-based radiotherapy), with tumour board conferences coordinating multidisciplinary management of complex cancers. Nuclear medicine provides SPECT, PET-CT, and thyroid scintigraphy. The cardiology division is consistently rated among the best in India in independent healthcare surveys.

Jaslok Hospital's 359 beds include 67 ICU beds (MICU, SICU, CCU, PICU, NICU). Advanced facilities include a full-service cardiac catheterisation lab for angiography and angioplasty, a 32-channel high-resolution MRI with TIM technology (first of its kind in Mumbai), modern LINAC radiation oncology, PET-CT, nuclear medicine, advanced endoscopy suite (including ERCP), operation theatres with modern anaesthesia and monitoring, an IVF laboratory with genetic screening capability, comprehensive blood bank, and a Maxillo-Facial Prosthesis unit. The hospital's 32-channel high-resolution MRI with TIM technology was the first of its kind installed in Mumbai, providing superior neurological, cardiac, and oncological imaging. The IVF laboratory integrates genetic screening through preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The maxillo-facial prosthesis unit provides reconstructive services for head and neck cancer patients. A comprehensive rehabilitation department supports post-surgical recovery across orthopaedic and neurological patient populations.

Jaslok Hospital attracts patients from the Gulf countries, Africa, South Asia, and the international Indian diaspora. South Mumbai's location near international hotels and the proximity of Jaslok's Peddar Road address to the upmarket Cumballa Hill and Malabar Hill neighbourhoods make it an attractive destination for medical tourists. The hospital accepts patients from abroad and provides guidance on accommodation, medical visa letters, and international referral coordination. Mumbai's international airport connects directly to hundreds of global cities. International patients from the Gulf, UK, East Africa, and the Indian diaspora worldwide access Jaslok Hospital for cardiac, oncological, reproductive medicine, and neurosurgical care. South Mumbai's proximity to five-star hotels and serviced apartments makes accommodation arrangements straightforward for families accompanying patients. Jaslok's proximity to the Cumballa Hill and Malabar Hill areas provides access to quiet, upmarket residential accommodation for longer-stay families.

Jaslok Hospital is recognised by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) for postgraduate medical training in 22 specialties. It was the first hospital in Mumbai to conduct laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in a private hospital setting, and was the first private hospital in South Mumbai to be designated a 'Baby Friendly Hospital'. The hospital's Department of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics is responsible for the birth of over 2,000 babies and pioneered the first ICSI (micromanipulation) baby in South East Asia. NABH accreditation from the Quality Council of India is a key quality milestone the hospital targets, alongside its existing NBE recognition for postgraduate education in 22 specialty programmes.
