Description
The N.M. Wadia Institute of Cardiology was established as a Public Charitable Trust in 1966; The then Chairman of N.M. Wadia Charities of Bombay, - late Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy VI Bart having given encouragement and support for the purpose of starting a hospital devoted to diseases of the heart. It was also through the generosity and co-operation of late Lady Hirabai Cowasji Jehangir and late Dr. E.H. Coyaji, that the Jehangir Medical Center initially provided us with a space to start our activities and later in 1972, leased land on their campus, where the existing Institute stands. The affairs of the Institute are managed by a Board of Trustees.
The N. M. Wadia Institute of Cardiology was the first non-government sector hospital in India to start a Coronary Care Unit and the first in Poona to pioneer cardiac Catherterisation and Angiography. Angioplasty, Stenting, open heart surgery and closed heart surgery which are now all routine activities.
