Who we Are

Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital, founded in honour of the legend, Padma Bhushan Dr L H Hiranandani, came into existence in February 2004. The challenge of the early days was enormous, to foster the fledgling hospital into an enduring symbol of healthcare in the country. We recognised early on that to make a real and substantial contribution one had to redefine the standards themselves- instead of doing more of the same.
