Nanavati Super Specialty Hospital, Mumbai — 70+ Years of Healthcare Excellence
About The Hospital
Nanavati Super Specialty Hospital
S.V. Road, Vile Parle (West), Mumbai 400 056, Maharashtra, India
Nanavati Super Specialty Hospital is one of Mumbai's most storied and trusted medical institutions, with a legacy of patient care spanning more than seven decades. Founded in 1950 — at the same time as India's independence as a nation — by philanthropist Ratilal Nanavati and inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru with a blessing from Mahatma Gandhi, the hospital carries an extraordinary heritage of public trust and clinical excellence. Over 70 years, Nanavati has evolved from a community hospital into one of Mumbai's foremost super-specialty institutions, with 350 beds, Joint Commission International (JCI) and NABH accreditation, and a reputation for attracting some of India's most accomplished medical specialists.
The hospital is located in Vile Parle (West) in the western suburbs of Mumbai, a 10–15 minute drive from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport — making it highly accessible for international patients travelling to Mumbai. Its cancer care programme — the Nanavati Max Institute of Cancer Care, developed in partnership with the Max Healthcare group — is one of the most comprehensive in western India, integrating surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation therapy with a modern TrueBeam linear accelerator, molecular diagnostics, and haematology-oncology including bone marrow transplantation.
The cardiac sciences department at Nanavati performs complex cardiac surgery, including CABG, valve procedures, aortic surgery, and congenital heart disease repair, alongside a full-service interventional cardiology unit for complex coronary disease, TAVR, and electrophysiology. Neurosciences encompasses neurology, neurosurgery for brain and spinal tumours, stroke care, and deep brain stimulation. The liver transplant programme provides both living donor and cadaveric liver transplantation, supported by a hepatology team managing chronic liver disease.
Bariatric surgery — sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and revisional bariatric procedures — is one of Nanavati's growing specialties, with an increasing number of patients from the Gulf seeking weight-loss surgery in India.
