TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA

Tata Memorial Hospital was commissioned in 1941 to carry out the vision of Sir Dorab Tata, who wanted to establish quality cancer treatment centers in India after his wife, Lady Meherbai Tata, died from Leukemia even after undergoing treatment abroad.  To honor Sir Dorab Tata's commitment to creating a cancer treatment center to serve the people of India, the trustees of the Sir Dorab Tata Trust along with various other cancer specialists joined together to create Tata Memorial Hospital, a philanthropic hospital that is now seen as a center for medical excellence. Tata Memorial Hospital was the first hospital to offer bone marrow transplantation in 1983  and since then, has been a leader in cancer prevention, treatment, and research. We currently have one palliative care project and two pediatric oncology projects at this site.
