Ruby Hall Clinic is a prominent hospital in Pune, India. It is a 550-bed hospital facility with a staff of 150 consultants, 500 panel doctors and 1400 paramedical staff[1] and was accredited by National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) in November 2009.[2] Ruby Hall Clinic has state of the art facilities in cardiology, cardiac surgery, neurology, nuclear science center, diagnostic center, intensive care units, a blood bank and cancer unit. In 1999, the Hospital ranked first in India for having the most number of ICU beds i.e. 76, leaving behind other renowned hospitals like Bombay Hospital, Jaslok Hospital, Hinduja Hospital, etc.[3] The number of ICU beds available now has increased to 130.[1]
Ruby Hall Clinic was established in 1959 by Dr. K B Grant. It started modestly but has now grown to a mammoth facility. In 1966, Ruby Hall Clinic was converted from a private institution owned by Dr. Grant to a public charitable trust, Poona Medical Foundation. It was later converted to the Grant Medical Foundation in 2000, of which Dr. Grant was the chairman and managing trustee. Late Shri Keshrimal Sanghvi from the now defunct Patent Tiffin Carrier (PTC) company of Pune donated the Cancer Research Wing to the hospital in the 70s. A member of the current generation of the Sanghvi family still serves as a Trustee of the Grant Medical Foundation. Padma Bhushan Award, India's third largest civilian award was announced posthumously for Dr. K. B. Grant for his contribution to medical practice.[4]
The Clinic in colaboration with Kalyani Group announced to launch a special Institute for Research for Prostate Cancer. [5]
