The Rajawadi Hospital is a municipal hospital located in the Rajawadi area of Ghatkopar, Mumbai, India. It was opened on 2 October 1958 and is officially known as Seth V.C.Gandhi & M.A Vora Municipal General Hospital.
History[edit | edit source]
The land on which Rajawadi Hospital sits belonged to the erstwhile Maharaja King Gaikwad of Baroda, which had been donated to him by his family members. The area was then referred to as Rajawadi. The land was later acquired by the Bombay Municipal Corporation in 1950, and initial planning of Rajawadi Hospital took place. In 1956, with the generous donation by the Gandhi and Vora family, a ground floor structure dispensary was constructed, providing necessary healthcare to the poor and needy of the area.
In 1957, due to the merger of the extended eastern suburbs up to Mulund into the Municipal Corporation limits, the dispensary was expanded by joining the S.V. Khimji Maternity Hospital at Rajawadi Hospital into a 20-bed hospital. Later, the hospital was further expanded into a 50-bed hospital with facilities such as an Operating Theatre, X-Ray Department, and Pathology Departments. In 1969, new departments including Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and a Pediatrics ward were added. The inauguration of a Casualty Department took place on 1 August 1973. Further major expansion of the hospital took place in 1976. At present, Rajawadi Hospital is a major peripheral hospital in the Eastern suburbs of Mumbai, with a capacity of 596 beds.
Present day[edit | edit source]
Rajawadi Hospital operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. The hospital is equipped with a well-equipped MICU/ICCU, Trauma Care Unit, C.T. Scan facilities, Blood Bank, Operating Theatres, and Casualty departments.
