Hirandani Hospital, Vashi, a Fortis group Hospital, has received the necessary clearances from the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) to open its services for the people of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. This is the first hospital of the Fortis group in the western region of the country. The hospital will be a big boon to the people of Navi Mumbai as they need not depend on hospitals in Mumbai for major surgeries as the hospital has the facilities for all major and rare surgeries. Last week, the hospital conducted few rare surgeries like Ovarian Neoplasm, where ovarian tumour as large as a papaya was removed. The hospital also conducts total hip replacement surgery. Fortis is among the largest private hospital groups in the country. In line with its growth strategy and with the recent acquisition of the Escorts Heart Institute & Research Centre in Delhi, Fortis Healthcare has taken its total operational hospital strength to 26 hospitals (including 11 satellite/heart command centers) in the country. The group has a vision to set up a network of world - class super specialty hospitals. Fortis commissions a 150 bedded hospital in Vashi, Navi Mumbai, known as Hiranandani Hospital. It is situated at Mini Seashore road, Sector 10A, Vashi. It's a multi-specialty hospital which has been established with the thrust upon orthopaedic & joint replacements, neuro sciences, minimally invasive surgeries and cardiac sciences (cath lab and cardiac sciences not started as of now) along with other specialties.
