Established in 1946 as Jehangir Nursing Home, Jehangir Hospital has grown into a leading 350-bed multispecialty tertiary care centre in the heart of Pune. From its inception on 6 February 1946, the institution was envisioned by Sir Cowasji Jehangir and Lady Hirabai Jehangir, under the esteemed guidance of Dr Eduljee H. Coyaji, with a clear purpose: to provide affordable, compassionate and personalised healthcare to the people of Pune.
What began as a modest nursing home with just a few beds has, over the decades, evolved into one of the city’s most respected and long-standing healthcare institutions. Jehangir Hospital continues to uphold its founding values while embracing modern medical advances, serving as a trusted destination for patients and families seeking high-quality care.
With a legacy spanning over eight decades, Jehangir Hospital now cares for more than 15,000 inpatients and over 200,000 outpatients every year. This trust is sustained by a team of over 300 consultants and 1,500 dedicated support staff, all united by a shared mission: to be a beacon of hope and health for those in need.
Today, the hospital stands as a super-speciality tertiary care facility, offering comprehensive services across a wide range of medical and surgical disciplines. Jehangir Hospital has continually expanded its scope of services, not only in clinical care but also in technology, academics and research. The introduction of the advanced MAKO Orthopaedic Robotic Programme reflects the hospital’s commitment to cutting-edge, precision-driven care, particularly in joint replacement and orthopaedic surgery.
The hospital’s strong academic culture is evident in its expanding DNB and Fellowship programmes, which nurture the next generation of clinicians. A dedicated Research and Publication Unit creates opportunities for departments across various specialities to undertake research, publish their work and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of medical science.
Jehangir Hospital has been accredited by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) since 2005 to conduct Diplomate of National Board (DNB) courses across multiple specialities, reflecting its strong academic foundation and extensive clinical exposure. The hospital currently offers over 93 DNB seats across 13 specialities. It has also been recognised by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) since 2013 for Fellowship programmes, further strengthening its position as a leading teaching and training institution.
In addition, Jehangir Hospital conducts the IDCCM course in association with national critical care bodies, contributing to the development of highly skilled intensivists and critical care specialists.
Through these academic and training initiatives, Jehangir Hospital remains deeply committed to capacity building, clinical excellence, and continuous professional development. This dedication was further acknowledged when the hospital won the CII Hospital Tech Award (Large Category) in September 2025.
Jehangir Hospital is consistently recognised for its excellence in healthcare at both national and international levels. Its commitment to quality and safety is demonstrated through accreditations from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) for the hospital and blood bank, the National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) for its laboratory services, and NABH accreditation for Nursing Excellence. These recognitions affirm the hospital’s adherence to rigorous standards in patient care, clinical processes and nursing practice.
Beyond clinical services, Jehangir Hospital is at the forefront of medical research and education. The ISO-certified Jehangir Clinical Research and Development Centre (JCDC) is known globally for its capabilities in clinical research, partnering in national and international studies that shape evidence-based practice. The Healthcare and Clinical Research Institute (HCJMRI) focuses particularly on paediatric health, undertaking research that aims to improve outcomes for children through better understanding of diseases, treatments and preventive strategies.
Through extensive research programmes, structured educational initiatives and the DNB training pathway for postgraduate students, the hospital continues to advance medical knowledge while nurturing future leaders in healthcare. These efforts, combined with community outreach programmes, help to elevate standards of care and improve health outcomes across the region.
Recognising that true health extends beyond the treatment of illness, Jehangir Hospital has long championed the importance of prevention and holistic well-being. In 1998, the Jehangir Wellness Centre was launched as a pioneering initiative dedicated to preventive health checks and lifestyle management.
What began as a 1,000 sq. ft. unit has now grown into a state-of-the-art, 7,000 sq. ft. centre located at The Mills (Raja Bahadur Mills, Pune). Designed with a patient-centric approach, the Wellness Centre offers a comprehensive range of health checks, lifestyle assessments and holistic wellness programmes tailored for individuals across all age groups.
The centre serves as a sanctuary for those who value proactive care of their health and well-being. Its services are built around the belief that good health is not merely the absence of disease, but the complete physical, mental and social well-being of an individual. This philosophy is reflected in a predictive and preventive approach to healthcare: advanced, ultramodern diagnostic services help to detect health risks early, while natural healing practices and lifestyle counselling support sustainable, healthy living.
In an era where stress, sedentary habits and environmental factors contribute to a rise in lifestyle-related diseases, the Jehangir Wellness Centre helps individuals and families take charge of their health. By blending medical expertise with holistic therapies and personalised guidance, the centre enables people to revitalise their bodies, rejuvenate their minds and embrace long-term wellness.
As Jehangir Hospital continues to grow, plans are underway to expand the reach of its wellness services with additional centres. This will further strengthen its mission to promote preventive health and holistic well-being, not only within Pune but in surrounding regions as well.
Jehangir Hospital remains steadfast in its dedication to excellence in patient care, education, research and community service. From emergency and critical care to super-speciality services, from postgraduate training to community health initiatives, every aspect of the hospital’s work is guided by compassion, integrity and a commitment to quality.
Through the Jehangir Wellness Centre and its expanding portfolio of preventive and holistic health services, the hospital extends this commitment beyond the walls of the clinical setting, empowering individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Rooted in a rich legacy yet firmly focused on the future, Jehangir Hospital continues to stand as a trusted healthcare partner for generations of families in Pune and beyond.
