  • Showing too great a willingness to serve


Vision of Shushrusha edit

Shushrusha was founded in 1966 by late Dr. V.S. Ranadive with the objective of providing excellent healthcare facilities at an affordable price. The late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi inaugurated the hospital in 1969. From a humble beginning, the hospital grew into a full-fledged Medical Institute.

In 1971, shortly after, Dr Ranadive passed away, hospital entered a phase of slackening of patient flow; Dr Nandu S Laud, MS (Ortho), the current Chairman, gradually rejuvenated; fund raising and expansion of member base was exemplary. Since then, the hospital had not looked back.


The vision statement of this hospital is eloquently resonating in the following Sanskrit shloka:



This vision translated into English becomes:

“To free all patients of all the ailments”

The mission statement of the hospital is:






Foundation and Progress : Co-operative Initiative edit

Health care today is beyond the reach of citizenry, especially lower income group. Family income of 10% is spent on emergency health care and old age problems. The emergency and specialty care is well beyond the reach of an average citizen. The awareness to create financial capability is shockingly lacking.

Shushrusha Citizens’ Co-operative Hospital is a unique experiment offering total health care, including super-specialty care at affordable cost based on the principle of health care as a right without exploitation with self participation; health care governed by four A's fulfilling the objective of the National Human Rights Commission Recommendation is principleCentral.

.......... Accessible, Available on Demand, Affordable and Accountable.

The members of the Co-operative society, run the hospital for the people. Management involves participation of competent medical administrative experts and emplyees. This is the essence of co-operative movement in its true sense in providing medical care.

The hospital has grown progressively form 80 bed to 130 with an ICU with 17 beds and modern state-of-the-art technology throughout the facility.

Latest diagnostic facilities such as imaging equipments e.g. Ultrasound with Doppler, Ventilators for critical care, Operating Microscopes, Dialysis Unit, Blood Gas Analysers, Cardiac Monitoring equipments, EEG/EMG and ancillary aids complement the facility.

Specialized operations for spinal injuries and brain tumours, lungs, intestine, breast, speciality surgical treatment for Cancer, Trauma, Sport injuries, Joint replacement, Micro-surgeries of limb Reimplants and Reconstruction, are all available at reasonable cost. Coronary Angiography, Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac surgery amongst other facilities are on the horizon.

The hospital provides the community service by conducting free camps in the field of Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Skin, Paediatric, Cancer Detection etc. and specialised camp for the deaf, mute and the mentally challenged.

The hospital caters to the health and medical care of all citizens. Care is concessional for members upto 50% in all the services, free medical check-up for senior citizens, subsidy is also available to spouse and children upto two and members enjoy fixed rates for operations of all specialities.

Encouraged by this successful experiment at Shivaji Park, Dadar, Mumbai, the Management has decided to extend this experiment to one of the busy suburbs of Mumbai, Vikhroli, with replication of the model.

Medical tourism is being investigated. Shushrusha Citizens’ Co-operative Hospital is registered with all existing TPAs and Insurance Companies. ISO Certification is in the works. The hospital proposes to attract people from abroad, who would find it much less expensive to have the medical care, combined with tourism, and return fully cured healthy as true Ambassadors. Shushrusha prpoposes to extend in-patient and domiciliary cover and treatment to elderly parents of Indians diaspora abroad.

Co-Operative Concept and Organization edit

About the Membership:

The unique aspect of this hospital is that this is the only hospital in Mumbai, and probably the first in India, which falls under the cooperative sector.[1] This experiment was necessitated by the fact that private medical facilities charge exorbitantly for services rendered and the public hospitals lack hygiene and they are badly managed. In such a situation, this hospital envisages providing “The Third Force” – institutions where the health of the patient is more important than financial resources.

To avail of the services of this hospital, citizens have to first become members of the cooperative society which runs this hospital. Membership is open to citizens of Greater Mumbai and Thane Districts. A person who is legally competent to contract can become a member by paying a non-refundable amount of Rs 1000 towards the Shareholders’ fund (one time) plus an entrance fee of Rs 5. No dividend or bonus is payable on the amount paid. This membership is transferable to another person, voluntarily, after a period of two years or, automatically and irrespective of minimum holding period, to an heir/nominee of the member upon the death of member.

The cooperative society is governed by a Board of Directors comprising of 25 members elected by the members of the society every 5 years. Even an institution, firm, or body may become a member (as an institutional member) of this hospital by paying Rs 200,000.
