In

numerous job opportunities for healthcare professionals, researchers, and
support staff. This significant investment in the community will boost the
local economy and contribute to the overall development of the healthcare
sector in Mumbai.
The
Cancer Care Institute will introduce AI-driven diagnostic tools for early and
accurate cancer detection, improving patient outcomes and survival rates.
Furthermore, Lilavati Hospital will launch awareness campaigns to educate
communities about cancer risks, symptoms, and preventive measures, fostering a
culture of health and wellness.

Hospital has collaborated with the Mayo Clinic to commence the Nursing
Excellence Programme in India. This aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of
our nursing staff through specialized training and development. The partnership
covers various areas, including nursing excellence education, nursing quality
and patient experience, patient and staff safety, nursing governance and
leadership development, onboarding, orientation, and staff development &
nurse competency.
Through
this partnership, Lilavati Hospital will deliver training through observation,
real-time best practice considerations, and structured sessions. Upon
completion of the program, nurses will receive a certificate of completion from
the Mayo Clinic, recognizing their dedication to excellence in patient care.
Rajesh
Mehta & Prashant Mehta, The permanent trustees of Lilavati Hospital,

Institute to Mumbai and to collaborate with the Mayo Clinic to enhance our
nursing staff's skills. This initiative reflects our commitment to providing
world-class healthcare and improving the lives of our patients and
community."
In
a recorded video message from Davos, Switzerland, Devendra Fadnavis, Chief
Minister of Maharashtra congratulated Lilavati Hospital and Mayo Clinic and
said, "I am very happy that Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre Mumbai
and Mayo Clinic, USA are collaborating for a nursing training programme. This
will not only open a new journey in the healthcare sector but also towards the
path of Seva to mankind. The launch of the nursing training programme which is
the first of its kind in our country will revolutionize nursing education and
set unparalleled standards of patient care.
This partnership exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that transcends
borders bringing together expertise, resources, and shared aspirations to
create a meaningful impact. Mayo Clinic is extending a technical partnership
for the upcoming state-of-the-art hospital at Gandhinagar Gujarat, all these
initiatives by the Mayo Clinic in bringing cutting-edge technology and
world-class patient care in the healthcare sector in India for nurses, doctors,
and healthcare professionals are the true champions of this initiative."
Eknath
Shinde, deputy chief minister of Maharashtra congratulated Lilavati Hospital
and said, “Lilavati Hospital has done a landmark collaboration with the
world-renowned Mayo Clinic in the USA. I will refer to the cancer hospital
being established by Lilavati Hospital and Mayo Clinic not just as a hospital,
but as a ‘Health Temple’. The nurses are our ladki bahin (beloved sister) and
will be given training by the Mayo Clinic.
I hope they will become the world’s best nurses with skills and techniques.
Nursing staff is the soul of the hospital embodying critical importance in
healthcare. This type of nursing
training is conducted for the first time in India. Lilavati Hospital is one of
the advanced hospitals with the latest technology in Maharashtra and India and
is world-recognized. The hospital
prioritizes its motto- “More Than Healthcare, Human Care” and is serving
patients. Cancer cases are rising due to changing lifestyles and fast food
consumption and this is a growing matter of concern. However, new cutting-edge
treatments are available for treating cancer. I believe the cancer hospital
being established by Lilavati Hospital will greatly benefit patients battling
cancer. It is the government’s responsibility to strengthen health services in
Maharashtra, and these services should reach remote areas too. Our government is positive, practical, and
cooperative for land allocation for the prestigious 300-bedded hospital and we
will consider the appeal put forth by the Lilavati Hospital."
