S.L RAHEJA: A BRIEF OUTLOOK
Located in Mahim, a suburb of India’s financial capital, S.L. Raheja (A Fortis Associate) is one of the best hospitals in Mumbai, which has successfully established a benchmark in the quality of healthcare services available for the masses. It is one of the oldest and most reputed medical insitutions in Bombay, and was established in 1981 with a mere 50 beds. At the time, it was mainly known as a diabetes treatment facility. In the year 2000, realizing the need to possess advanced care facilities, cutting-edge equipment and become a centre of excellence, it took a step towards becoming a and added 12 floors and 100 additional beds in its facility, taking its capacity to a total of 150. The hospital has added additional intensive care units and paediatric post-surgery ICUs, and has also started performing paediatric cardiac surgeries, as part of its corporate social responsibility programme.
We seek to expand our areas of expertise and the number and depth of quality healthcare services to the people. With this in mind, we have recently launched the Institute of Digestive and Liver Care (IDL Care) within the precincts of our multispeciality hospital in Mumbai. It is helmed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including gastroenterologists, hepatologists, endoscopists, surgeons, intensivists, pathologists and radiologists, who with their collective knowledge, skill and expertise, tackle all major and minor gastrointestinal issues. This world-class centre was inaugirated by Padma Bhushan Dr. D. Nageshwar Reddy and is equipped with dedicated centres for treating many diseases related to inflammatory bowel, pancreato-biliary, cancer detection, obesity, nutrition and many more. This represents the culmination of our efforts to provide a comprehensive treatment for all GI issues under one roof. The doctors here treat the disease as a whole and do not just tackle the symptoms. A fully functional and up-to-date research wing at the IDL Care ensures a continuous flow of the latest knowledge, skills and techniques to the medical peers and to-be digestive care specialists. This will immensely benefit both the medical professionals as well as the patients. It is our endeavor to provide the best of medical services and facilities to our patients, and, as an offshoot of our efforts in this direction, live up to our reputation as one of the top hospitals in Mumbai and cater to the increasing number of patients from not just Maharashtra and Gujarat, but from the rest of the country and overseas as well.
