Powered by state-of-the-art medical technology and a patient-friendly approach, Jaslok Hospital promises affordable and quality healthcare for all

Leap of faith
In the late 60s, when the establishment of large private hospitals was not common, one family decided to take a bold step in a new direction and channel change. The Chanrai family, with business interests in many countries, was equally steeped in philanthropy, having supported many small and large projects. Jaslok Hospital founders, Jasoti and Lokoomal Chanrai, had a vision – to bring to Mumbai an ultra-modern medical facility that will provide quality healthcare to all regardless of their caste, creed or financial ability. Seth Chanrais vision was brought to reality largely by his brother-in-law Dada Mathradas Assomull, under the medical guidance of Dr Shantilal Mehta. The result of their single-minded effort was the establishment of Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre on July 6, 1973, which was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
