The launch of the Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar reflects the healthcare group's strategy of expanding beyond metropolitan centres and bringing specialist consultations, chronic disease management and multidisciplinary clinical expertise closer to patients. The initiative is aimed at reducing the burden of long-distance travel and improving continuity of care for families.
Speaking at the inauguration, Baba Sai Kaliram Saheb ji said that good health forms the foundation of a thriving community. He noted that many families face challenges in accessing timely and specialized medical care, especially elderly individuals and patients with chronic illnesses requiring regular treatment. He stated that the establishment of the Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar would reduce travel burdens and make expert medical guidance more accessible, providing comfort and reassurance to patients and their families.
The centre brings together specialists from multiple disciplines under one roof, allowing coordinated care for patients suffering from complex and chronic conditions. Through an integrated outpatient model, patients will receive consultations, follow-up care, diagnostic coordination and treatment planning in a seamless manner, enhancing convenience and improving clinical outcomes.
Dr S. Narayani, Business Head of Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra, said the launch marked an important milestone in expanding access to quality healthcare. She stated that the centre had been designed to provide convenient access to consultations across multiple specialties, supported by a dedicated dialysis unit and seamless transfer pathways to Fortis Hospitals in Kalyan and Mulund for advanced care. She added that plans to introduce oncology day-care services would help create a healthcare ecosystem capable of meeting the region’s future healthcare requirements.
The centre is also equipped to facilitate emergency response and patient transfers. In critical situations, patients can be referred and transferred rapidly to nearby hospitals or to Fortis Hospitals in Kalyan and Mulund, ensuring access to advanced tertiary and quaternary care. The integrated transfer network is expected to strengthen emergency preparedness and ensure continuity of treatment for patients requiring specialized interventions.
Commenting on the launch, Dr Vishal Beri, Facility Director of Fortis Hospital Mulund, said the institution’s approach to healthcare is based on clinical excellence, evidence-based medical practices and patient-centric care. He stated that the new medical centre would enable Fortis to extend these standards to a larger patient population by providing experienced specialists and quality outpatient services closer to communities. He added that combining local accessibility with the wider Fortis healthcare ecosystem would ensure timely, coordinated and high-quality treatment throughout a patient’s healthcare journey.
