Reproductive and infertility treatment has grown by leaps and bounds in last few years. We host Maharashtra’s first state-of-art Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) centre in a public hospital setup, offering a wide range of treatments at an affordable cost, says Dr Minnie Bodhanwala, CEO, Wadia Hospitals, in an interview.
Q You have been instrumental in bringing a transformation at Wadia Hospitals and been at the forefront of many innovative practices at the hospital, how has been this journey?
I am in the healthcare sector for 30 years. My journey started with dental practice. For me, practice was not limited to only treating patients but also guiding medical students as a teacher and mentor.
Time and again, I come across several instances where I would take operational roles along with the routine practice. One such opportunity was my association with Impact India Foundation for their “Hospital-onWheels” project to set up the first dental unit on the train.
It was a turning point in my life where I realised that I could reach to masses and create much more impact in the society as a healthcare professional. Hence, I got more inclined towards the management aspect of healthcare.
Besides, our country holds a plenty of talent, we need to manage healthcare delivery system in a better manner.
I pursued a Master of Health Administration (MHA) degree to contribute on healthcare management to cater people with better medical facilities.
I always make it a point in my management practice to visit the hospital patients every day and interact with them on how we could serve them better.
Q What services are offered by the hospital in the area of cardiac care, endoscopic surgeries and endocrinology?
Established in 1928, the Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children (BJWHC) is India’s first and largest paediatric hospital.
We provide a wide range of over 35 paediatric specialities here. The department of cardiac sciences is a center of excellence at BJWHC and supported by a dedicated team of professionals who provide care at the cardiac ICU, cardiac OT and cardiac ward.
