The DNA of Social Consciousness: Part 2

Godrej Memorial Hospital - Striving to Strike the Right Balance

The Godrej Hospital (GMH) was set up by Godrej 

Memorial Trust. The objective of the hospital was to 

create a balance between the philanthropic hospital 

in the city and the private hospitals. For the same 

purpose, an alternate business model was created 

which would have high quality healthcare services at 

an affordable cost in a rational and ethical manner. 

The hospital has in fact managed to implement 

this unique business model which is inspired by 

the concept of Sustainable Philanthropy. This model 

was adopted with a belief that a wholly philanthropic 

model would not be sustainable and would grow only 

in a very limited sense.

To make healthcare available at affordable prices, the OPD is divided into three types:

• OPD for poor 
  patients where the patients are charged only Rs10 
  per consultation
• Concessional OPD where Rs 
  150 is charged for 
  general 
  specialty
• And Rs 200 for 
  superior specialty consultations

The patients can see 

the doctor for the same ailment free for another nine 

days after the first visit and then 50 percent as follow 

up charges from the 10th to the 30th day. The hospital 

also takes pride in being one of the only hospitals in 

the city that does not insist on any advance payment.

Godrej Memorial Hospital (GMH) has been awarded the NABH accreditation (accreditation assures ‘Quality of Care & Patient Safety’ in accredited Hospitals), w.e.f. 1st July 2009.
