Shushrusha Citizens' Co-operative Hospital is located in Shivaji Park, Mumbai, foudred in 1966 by Dr. V.S. Ranadive. Shushrusha is a Hospital Co-operative initiative; Doctors' Co-operatives are long standing; the contribution of Mission, Voluntary, Government and Private Hospitals, is well recognised.[citation needed]

Facilities

The hospital has grown progressively form 80 bed to 130 with an ICU with 17 beds and modern state-of-the-art technology throughout the facility.

Latest diagnostic facilities such as imaging equipment e.g. Ultrasound with Doppler, Ventilators for critical care, Operating Microscopes, Dialysis Unit, Blood Gas Analysers, Cardiac Monitoring equipment, EEG/EMG and ancillary aids complement the facility.

Specialized operations for spinal injuries and brain tumours, lungs, intestine, breast, speciality surgical treatment for Cancer, Trauma, Sport injuries, Joint replacement, Micro-surgeries of limb Reimplants and Reconstruction, are all available. Coronary Angiography, Interventional Cardiology and Cardiac surgery amongst other facilities are on the horizon.

Encouraged by this successful experiment at this main campus, the Management has decided to extend this experiment to one of the busy suburbs of Mumbai, Vikhroli, with replication of the model.[2]

Medical tourism is being investigated. Shushrusha Citizens’ Co-operative Hospital is registered with all existing TPAs and Insurance Companies. ISO Certification is in the works. The hospital proposes to attract people from abroad, who would find it much less expensive to have the medical care, combined with tourism, and return fully cured healthy as true Ambassadors. Shushrusha proposes to extend in-patient and domiciliary cover and treatment to elderly parents of Indians diaspora abroad.

Co-Operative concept and organization

The members of the Co-operative society run the hospital for the people. The care is concessional for members.

The unique aspect of this hospital is that this is the only hospital in Mumbai, and probably the first in India, which falls under the cooperative sector.[3] [4] This experiment was necessitated by the fact that private medical facilities charge exorbitantly for services rendered and the public hospitals lack hygiene and they are badly managed. In such a situation, this hospital envisages providing "The Third Force" – institutions where the health of the patient is more important than financial resources.

The cooperative membership is open to citizens of Greater Mumbai and Thane Districts.

Community services

The hospital serves the community by conducting free camps in the various fields for prevention, diseases and disabilities, both physical and mental.

  • Smile Train Project, in association with New York Chapter. Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate and related deformities conducted free of cost to all the patients admitted. During the year 161 operations free of cost in all respects have been performed. Patient’s relatives coming from tribal areas have also been served free food during their stay at the hospital. Opinion of the hospital is a jewel in the crown. The outlook of the children was transformed; Institution will be remembered forever.[5]
  • Blood Donation Camps are conducted to meet demand. Shushrusha Blood Bank Registry, a voluntary donor endeavor is being developed as per new FDA rules. This registration would help the family to procure blood at a short notice, as a right, without hassles. It would also help the community by affording blood and blood substitutes during disaster and natural calamities.
  • Socially Responsibility Activities: Efforts to reach out to street children, senior citizenry and underprivileged.
  • Swaasthya, the monthly health magazine, has gained popularity. The magazine is as much a product of the members' feedback as the topics written by medical staff. Here, the dictum of education, a two-way street applies; health professionals learn also from the patients. Continuing Education of health Professionals follows matra of Knowing the Whole, so that defective 'part' can be detected; the core competency is emphasized for health professional education.
  • DILASA Centre, started by the hospital during 2010 for senior citizens, had various projects completed.
  • Sisterhood of strength, Sakhi, The clinic for Women, Rekha Bhatkhande et al.[6]
