Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre

In 1978, Kirtilal Manilal Mehta—an indian businessman fondly known as Bapaji (who was also the founder of Antwerp-based diamond company Gembel NV in 1956), established the Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust in memory of his late wife Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta. The trust has been managed by the members of Mehta family.

In 1997, the trust established Lilavati Hospital, with 314 beds, 12 operating theatres, 300 consultants, intensive care units (ICUs), and 1,800 staff members to provide care for 300 in-patients and 1,500 out-patients daily.^[2]

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), accredited Lilavati Hospital as a provider of medical treatment that meets standards and utilizes the latest medical equipment.^[3] NABH considered the level of treatment for different patients, the standard of control and prevention, and the responsiveness of the intensive care unit as key features that have matched NABH standards of accreditation.^[4][5]

The roles and responsibilities of the Trustees^[6] include the development and management of the facility and the oversight of patient care.

The current Board of Trustees includes Kishor Mehta and Charu Mehta
