Masina Hospital

Built in memory of Jerbai Masina by her family and descendants, this hospital is a well-known landmark in Byculla (East).

The building was the palatial residence of the wealthy Jewish businessman, David Sassoon, who had been mayor of Baghdad and later made great contributions to the city of Bombay.

The present Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is located in a different building within the complex of Masina Hospital, but it is run by the Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology, headed by Dr. Mrs. S.H.

The most recent accomplishment has been the establishment of a full-fledged blood bank with a fractionation unit in the city.

Run by a Parsi trust, many of the patients that seek expensive medical care are often given 90% or even 100% concession and allowed to be treated completely free of cost.
