In the 1970’s Dr. Shantilal J. Mehta took the dream of Philanthropist Seth Lokoomal Chanrai and instituted one of the first tertiary care facilities in Bombay, India, called the Jaslok Hospital and Research Center.
This large, private healthcare facility came about at a time when it was rare to have such types of healthcare facilities.
The hospital boasts almost four hundred beds and is a multi-specialty tertiary hospital. The hospital is known to treat not only residents of Bombay but also international patients.
Jaslok Hospital offers discount and charity services to seniors and local indigent patients. They offer specialty beds and wards for both the poverty-stricken and weak. The hospital has over thirty-five specialty clinics such as the Lactic Clinic for new mothers, the Infectious Disease Clinic which treats AIDS/HIV and their related illnesses, the Pain Clinic, and the Heart Failure Clinic.
The hospital also has a devotion to the treatment of trauma and mental health. Their array of mental health clinics include the newly created Trauma Counseling Cell, the Neuropsychiatry Clinic, the Women’s Mental Health Clinic, the Neuropsychological Testing Clinic, and the Mood Disorder Clinic.
