Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital

Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital is a tertiary-care facility in Versova, Mumbai, India.

The 750 bed multi-speciality hospital underwent a 'soft' launch in early 2008 for employees and doctors who had accepted offers with KDAH, and became operational in the first week of 2009. It is considered as one of the best cancer hospital in Mumbai. The project was initiated in 1999 by Dr. 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] It had the first 3-room intra-operative MRI suite (IMRIS) in South Asia.

The hospital is named after Kokilaben Ambani, wife of industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani, who was the founder of Reliance Industries.

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.[3]
