Welcome to Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital

 

Mahatma Gandhi had rightly said..

“A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work - he is the purpose of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to serve him.”

The hospital has a guide book that has important information for you. Please do spend a few minutes reading it.
