Who owns jupiter hospital

To win the war against diseases, we provide the best infrastructure, technology, quality and skillsets. Having practised the 'Patient First' ideology, we at Jupiter Hospital have grown successfully over the years with philanthropic ideals and a compassionate business model. See All Specialities. From a practicing radiologist, what prompted you to become an entrepreneur? Well, I was a practicing radiologist. I started practicing in the year , in the region of Mulund and Thane. When I would see a sick patient or a very critical patient, and I would diagnose his disease; the next thing I would see is, that patient and his family running from pillar to post from South Mumbai to western suburbs in search of medical help and support.

That was because there was no tertiary care hospital in Thane. That was the first trigger when I told myself that somebody needs to take a risk to create a world class facility with international standards that will cater to patients and their families in the region of Thane.

Private hospitals begin talks with schools for kids' vaccination. Several hospitals reopen Covid wards after uptick in number of cases. Kolkata: Covid wards fill up at private hospitals, some add beds. Ahmedabad: Kidney removed instead of stone, man dies; hosp fined 11L. Manipal Hospitals unveils its new logo and announced rebranding of their new healthcare facilities. The staircase from both lobbies are wide and branch out into two, giving patients and relatives ample space to navigate. Dr Thakker stresses that the first and foremost priority while designing a Jupiter Hospital is patient privacy.

Except for sharing a bathroom, they are in a private room. So for the same cost, the hospital management did an architectural change to give the patient complete privacy. Privacy is not merely a luxury but a necessity in certain situations. One patient has a high grade fever and needs the airconditioning which may cause the other patient to shiver.

This was a learning from the Thane facility which was implemented on one floor but was implemented in all rooms of the Pune facility. What is important is the controlled atmosphere for all patients, as the need of each patient will be different. I think that is a very important architectural change. Patients and their families at the Pune facility can even sit out in an indoor garden on the sixth floor called Shanti Niketan, complete with palm trees, etc.

The upper floors overlook this garden so patients and their relatives of these four floors can also connect with nature, which brings its own peace of mind.

In India, we have a family member staying with the patient all the time. Under the guidance of his father, he has grown into his role as an executive director and group CEO.

Dr Thakker points out that with a unique combination of having done his medicine in Mumbai, his internship in the US, and his MBA with London School of Economics, Dr Ankit understands healthcare, finance as well as administration. The new shape includes scouting for a location for a neuro rehabilitation centre in Los Angeles LA. We have a huge neuro ortho rehab centre in our Thane hospital.

A group of physicians and therapists from LA visited our facility and they were so impressed with it, that they asked us to collaborate with them and set up one for them in LA Ankit has taken up this challenge and will be in LA in September to select a location and set up such a facility in LA. Based on this first international experience, we will decide on future plans.

Jupiter Hospitals thus finds itself in its 11th year, with two operational facilities. The pace might seem slower than other hospital groups but could prove to be more sustainable in the long run. The third hospital, like the first, will be in a suburb of Mumbai, currently lacking tertiary care facilities.

Will the slow and steady strategy serve this group well? Or will the promoters decide otherwise? Only time will tell.
