Located in South Mumbai, 175-bed Breach Candy Hospital which started off as a humble nursing home in the 1950’s has
expanded to become one of the most recognised multi-specialty tertiary
care units in the country.
Although it is not uncommon to come across a popular
Bollywood star or a celebrity being discretely treated in its premises
(who can forget the throngs of admirers praying for Amitabh Bachchan’s
recovery after his near-fatal, on set accident in 1982), the hospital
also has a separate ward for free and subsidised patients, ‘Godrej Wing’
established in 1975, which comprises 26 inpatient beds focuses on the
underprivileged section of the society. In addition, all critically ill
patients are treated in the common ICU. There is also charitable OPD run
by the hospital on a daily basis where needy patients are seen free of
cost by consultants of all specialties (and medicines also provided
free).
A few years ago, the Breach Candy Hospital Trust
decided that it was time to overhaul its wards to match with its several
improvements in medical equipment, technology and services.
It was then that Masters’ was called in to manage the
work, which had to take into account the complexities of remodelling
and renovation within a fully functional building filled with patients,
who should not be unduly disturbed.
Our scope included PMC of the renovations, including
structural strengthening works and complete refurbishment of two wards
and the VVIP ward with a total built-up area of 11,500 sq. ft. executed
in 17 months.
