History

The hospital project was initiated in 1999 by Dr Nitu Mandke as a large scale heart hospital Dr Nitu Mandke was born in 1948 in a middle class family He was the first member in his family to choose medicine as a profession with a determination to become a heart surgeon

He joined B J Medical College Pune from where he passed his MBBS in 1970 came to Mumbai for further studies and completed his Super Specialty course in Cardiovascular Surgery He spent close to 8 years working with world renowned figures in Cardiac Surgery like Dr Magdi Yacoub in England and Dr Kirklin and Dr Pacifico at the University of Alabama in the United States He was an all rounder with exemplary proficiency in sports arts languages mathematics and so on

In his lifetime he won the hearts of many and repaired many more through unerring surgery He won various social awards like The Rajiv Gandhi Gold Medal of Merit 1992 Indira Gandhi Sadbhavana Award 1999 Outstanding Man Of The 20th Century 2000 Pride of India 2001 Sarvashri Gold Medal 2000 and Maharashtra Gaurav Award to name a few

With great passion Dr Mandke built a substantial portion of the hospital building Sadly his dream was cut short by fate when he succumbed to a massive heart attack in May 2003 leaving a dream unfulfilled and unfinished

The management of Mandke Foundation approached Reliance ADA Group who graciously took over this project and developed it into one of the most modern and stateoftheart multispecialty tertiary care hospitals naming the institution as Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital amp Medical Research Institute

In honour of the initiator the hospitals Medical Convention Centre has been aptly dedicated to the memory of Dr Nitu Mandke
