At first people looked at the hospital, built to International standards and thought it was meant for employees of Godrej only. Today they know better.

The background to the hospital is a heartwarming and reassuring as the establishment itself. In 1984, Godrej Memorial Trust was set up as a voluntary, non profit, non-religious, non sectarian, non-political public charitable entity. The Trust provides valuable medical services, from its clinic at New Delhi, since inception.

The Godrej Memorial Hospital is multi-speciality, state-of-the-tech hospital with several unique features. First is its location, in the lovely green belt adjoining the Eastern Express Highway and Vikhroli Railway station. This instantly provides easy access to Vikhroli, Powai, Kanjur marg, Bhandup, as well as several other central sub urbs.

According to the CEO, Dr.A.M.Joglekar, “The Godrej Memorial Hospital is need based. So how does this translate on ground? “In several ways”, says Dr. Joglekar, for instance “we don’t insist on deposits when patients are brought in for emergency services, we allow them to pay later. The hospital provides a state of the art ambulance, for attending to serious accidents, or acute medical conditions like heart attacks, strokes, ect, within reasonable distance, free of cost in other words we are there when patients need us most. So in a place like Mumbai, don’t people take advantage of these offers?

“Acctually no”, says Dr.Joglekar. “ It has been our experience that trusting patients is the right thing to do. As for the ambulance, we have had patient’s relatives turning up days after they have used the services to pay in full. Whilst hospital bills are also usually cleared completely prior to discharge. We are part of the community here and the community has begun to feel it owns us. The benefit cuts both ways in trust and co-operation. We also give opportunity to qualified professionals, who their talents to bloom.

The Institute caters to one and all, is affordable and the watchwords are rationality and ethics , says Trustee Mr.Percy E Fouzdar, he goes on further to say “the purpose and mission of the hospital is to offer quality services in various disciplines and to provide meaningful health care for the community at large.”
The facilities themselves are carefully graded for all the classes, especially the middle class to avail of them.
