History & Capacity The hospital was founded in 1886, making it one of Mumbai’s oldest public healthcare institutions. It originally started as Cama Hospital and was later renamed Cama and Albless Hospital. Current bed capacity is around 500+ beds dedicated to women’s and children’s care. Primary Focus and Services Healthcare for Women and Children: Maternity care, high-risk pregnancies and obstetrics Gynaecology including specialised clinics such as urogynaecology Paediatric care and neonatal services Low-cost or subsidised treatment as a public hospital for eligible patients Oncology and Advanced Care: The hospital runs an oncology wing with chemotherapy and related services focused on cancers common in women. Radiation therapy services have been modernised with a linear accelerator machine to provide targeted treatment free of charge for cancer patients, a significant upgrade in public cancer care. Reproductive Health and ART: The hospital offers assisted reproductive technology (ART) services, including IVF. Since May 2024 these services have been made available free of cost under the state health insurance scheme for eligible patients, making it the first public hospital in Maharashtra to do so.

Other Developments: The hospital is adding educational programs such as a postgraduate diploma in oncology nursing to support cancer care training. A Centre of Excellence for Women’s Pelvic Health has opened to treat urogynaecological conditions, with modern diagnostics and clinic rooms.

🔴Warning Label ⭐☆☆☆☆ “This hospital should come with a warning label. 21 years ago, my sister was born here, and since then she has been the very definition of ‘user error.’ She doesn’t earn, doesn’t do household chores, sleeps like a hibernating bear, argues like it’s a sport, and spends money like she’s got an unlimited supply (spoiler: she doesn’t). Sadly, I was also born here, but thankfully I turned out fine—so maybe I was just their one lucky success story. Still, why take the risk? Better don’t give birth here, unless you’re ready to raise a full-time headache with no return policy.”
This hospital delivered my sister—and a lifetime warranty on laziness. All she does is eat, scroll, and avoid chores like it’s her job. If you’re hoping for a responsible child, maybe pick a different hospital.
