The signage says it all: 'Wockhardt Hospitals, Associate Hospital, Harvard Medical International' followed by the promise 'World-class professional treatment with care'.
If it were not for the signage, no one would take it for a hospital. The seven storey 222-bedded hospital complex has a modern sleek structure... quite unlike a conventional hospital. The soothing cream-coloured walls, the bright and Colourful ambience, the all pervading cleanliness and the smiling, courteous staff are just some of the visible symbols of Wockhardt Hospitals' endeavour to build the most caring and friendly hospitals in the country for patients who need critical care.
After extensive strategic planning, and meticulous attention being paid to design, systems and support, Wockhardt Heart Hospital (WHH) was launched in July. WHH becomes the first super speciality hospital focused on cardiac care in Mumbal. In the near future, the hospital will add on facilities for super speciality tertiary care in neurology, orthopaedics, ophthalmology and women's care.
Wockhardt Heart Hospital at Mulund fulfils a long-felt need of Citizens of Mumbai's suburbs for a super speciality hospital. They will no longer need to travel to the southern and central parts of the City for critical and surgical medical care. Our hospital is easily accessible to around 4.5 million Citizens, covering Mulund, Bhandup, Ghatkopar, Chembur, New Mumbai and Thane district areas.
The hospital is the city's first healthcare institution to be associated to the world renowned Harvard Medical International (HMI), Boston, USA. Wockhardt Hospitals has a Iong term exclusive agreement with HMI, whereby Wockhardt will have access to Harvard's expertise and experience in surgical and medicare services, as well as in setting up and developing hospitals of excellence through out the world. Senior staff at the Mulund hospital underwent training at Harvard's facilities in Boston before taking up their positions.
According to HMl officials who 'have been working closely with Wockhardt, the hospital is among the best in the '" world in terms of systems and practices as it has been built in accordance with the latest concepts.
A feature equally paramount to the patient is that the hospital offers world class services at rates most affordable in the country.
As Mumbai lives on at its feverish pulsating pace, its Citizens can rest assured that they are in the best healthcare hands, at Wockhardt Hospitals.
State-of-the-art medical facilities and the best of Information Technology
Wockhardt Heart Hospital has India's most modern cardiac cath labs and operation theatres. The hospital information system and the hospital management system, developed with assistance from HMI, provide for instant electronic availability of data across various departments with zero tolerance for clinical errors.
Bringing together India's best medical talent and expertise
Some of the city's best known cardiologists and surgeons have joined WHH as consultants - Dr. Jamshed Dalal, Dr. Shantesh Kaushik, Dr. Kaushal Pandey, Dr. Anil Sharma and Dr. Suresh Vljan. They have collectively performed more than 10,000 cardiothoracic surgeries, 25,000 angiograms and 6,000 angioplasties. Together, these consultants bring more than 80 years of medical experience.
World-class care at affordable rates
Wockhardt Heart Hospital provides world-class treatment, but at an affordable cost. For example, a coronary bypass surgery would cost Rs. 1.20 lakh and an angioplasty would cost Rs. 85,000 in the multi - bed category.
Providing patient-friendly customised care
The hospital offers a host of specialised health check-up packages including general health management programme, comprehensive heart check-up, senior citizens' profile and a child check-up programme. The hospital, covering 150,000 square feet area in a relatively calm and quiet location, is designed to promote a sense of well being. "Our endeavour is to see that the patient moves out of the hospital not only in good health, but also in a cheerful frame of mind," says our Chairman Habil Khorakiwala.
Backed by a decade of medical excellence
The new hospital is the third in a network of centres of excellence set up by Wockhardt Hospitals. Our Wockhardt Hospital and Heart Institute (WHHI) in Bangalore has performed more than 8,000 cardiac surgeries and 35,000 cardiac interventions. Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute (WHKI) in Kolkata is regarded as the centre of excellence in urology in eastern India.
