At the surgery, with the doctor (GP)

As in most countries, private hospitals provide better quality service and treatment but are costlier than government-run centres. These are generally preferred by the middle, upper class and expat community. Private Healthcare has flourished in India in the last decade owing  to the long queues and impersonal service in government-run hospitals. Most private hospitals have contracts with various insurance companies making better treatment more accessible. There are plenty of private hospitals and Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporations hospitals in the city. The hospitals are well equipped with the latest technologies and specialist doctors. Every possible aid in emergency cases is available in the NMMC Hospitals.

Some of the most reputed private hospitals in Mumbai are:

Lilavati Hospital
Tata Hospital
