History
The 750 bed multi-speciality hospital became operational in the first week of 2009. The project was initiated in 1999 by Nitu Mandke as a large-scale heart hospital, but ran into troubles after his death in 2003. Subsequently, it was completed by the Anil Ambani-led Reliance ADA group.[1] The hospital has boasted of many firsts not only in India but also in Asia. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital has the first 3-room intra-operative MRI suite (IMRIS) in Asia, Asia's first EDGE Radiosurgery system from Varian Medical Systems, India's 1st Spine Surgery Suite featuring the O-arm and many more.
The hospital courted controversy in 2014 when it offered incentives to doctors for referring patients. It later apologised to the Maharashtra Medical Council.[2]
In 2016, the hospital announced that it would be setting up 18 cancer-care centres in rural Maharashtra, under the name Reliance Cancer Centre's that will be operated and managed by Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital.
