Gordhandas Bhagwandas Narottamdas, a physician and social worker, proposed the Harkisan Narottamdas Hospital (also spelled Hurkisondas Nurrotumdas Hospital) to his adoptive mother Zaverben and his aunt Mankunwar, wife of deceased Harkisan Narottamdas Sheth. They agreed and donated the bungalow and funds. In 1918, the foundation of hospital was laid by the Lady Willingdon. In 1925, the construction was completed and inaugurated by Lesli Wilson, the Governor of Bombay. Gordhandas served patients there until his death in 1975.[1]

The hospital was taken over by the Reliance Foundation in 2006. The 7-floor old heritage building and the 22-floor building behind it were renovated starting 2011. It was inaugurated and rededicated by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 October 2014.[2][3]

There are Isolation Rooms on each floor.
