(This is an effort to preserve old invaluable and historical memories through e-abhivyakti’s “दस्तावेज़” series. In the words of Shri Jagat Singh Bisht Ji – “The present is being recorded on the Internet in some form or the other. But some earlier memories related to parents, grandparents, their lifetime achievements are slowly fading and getting forgotten. It is our responsibility to document them in time. Our generation can do this else nobody will know the history and everything will be forgotten.”
In the next part of this series, we present a memoir by Shri Hemant Tarey Ji “The TATA Memorial Hospital (TMH) Parel, Mumbai.“)
☆ दस्तावेज़ # 27 – The TATA Memorial Hospital (TMH) Parel, Mumbai. ☆ Shri Hemant Tarey ☆
This pioneer institution in the area of Prevention, treatment and research of Cancer disease came into being on 28/2/1941.
In the year 1931, Sir Dorabji Tata ( Chairman of TATA Sons ) had lost his wife, Lady Meherbai Tata of Leukaemia, after treatment abroad. The tragic incidence touched the man deeply and he resolved to develop medical facility in India itself for treatment of this dreaded disease. Though, Sir Dorabji Tata expired in 1932, the clear vision of Sir Dorab Tata Trust and commitment from the house of TATA eventually culminated in the birth of TMH in 1941. Since then, the Institution has attained many milestones. From 1962, the administrative control of this institution vests with the Department of Atomic Energy, GOI. Currently, the Institution receives about 64000 patients annually and it’s annual expenditure budget is close to Rs 200 crore.
In 1990, I too fell prey to the disease and visited the Hospital many times in a spell of following 2- 3 years. The Institution can really boast of world class treatment facilities and highly professional team of Doctors, other medical staff and administrative support staff. They all deserve kudos for the wholehearted service (with very high ethical and moral values) of the mankind 🙏🏼
