Why Shushrusha Citizens Co-Operative Hospital, Dadar

Shushrusha Citizens Co-Operative Hospital holds a legendary place in the history of Indian healthcare. Founded in 1966 by the visionary Late Dr. Vasant Shripad (V. S.) Ranadive under the auspices of the Shushrusha Citizen's Cooperative Hospital Society, it was established under The Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 and Maharashtra Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1949.

Inaugurated in 1969 by the former Prime Minister of India, Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Shushrusha was conceptualized during Maharashtra's landmark cooperative movement championed by Chief Minister Shri Y. B. Chavan. Following Dr. Ranadive's passing in 1971, renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Nandu S. Laud, MS (Ortho), spearheaded the hospital's rejuvenation, expanding its member base and developing it into a full-fledged medical institute. Built on the core ethos that "health of the patient is more important than the money in their pocket," Shushrusha has served over 50,000 patients with uncompromised clinical integrity for over five decades.
