Patient Load:

Nair Hospital is a 1300 bedded public hospital with an annual OPD attendance of close to 1 million. Run by the Brihanmumbai Mahanagar-palika, it is a tertiary care hospital with several excellent speciality and superspeciality departments that are in a continuing state of upgradation and development.


Location and Patient Profile:

Nair hospital is situated in the thickly populated south-central Mumbai. Majority of the patients visiting the hospital are poor with an average monthly income of Rs. 2000/- to Rs .3000/- per family.


Patient Facilities:

The outpatient services including its speciality and superspeciality clinics were being provided free of charge till recently. Since the last few months, nominal charges are being collected for this service as well as the various specialised tests, procedures and operations. However, most of the tests are still done free of charge and most of the OPD patients have to pay only Rs. 10/- for receiving unlimited number of consultations, all the commonly done blood tests and medicines that last for two weeks.


Societal Responsibility:

While expanding frontiers of modern medicine bring newer tests, medicines and cures into the realms of possibility, most of these involve high costs. This may lead to denial of benefits of modern medicine to socially disadvantaged sections of the society. To prevent such a situation from developing and to fill in this shortfall, societal resources need to be tapped.


Who can donate?:

Any individual or group or a trust (charitable, religious, educational etc.) may help in financing small or big projects. Social groups like Rotary or Lions club may also pitch in.


What types of donations are accepted?:

Donations may be monetary or in kind or may even be provided in the form of services.
