Prince Aly Khan Hospital in Mumbay & P. Zahra's visit

Post by Admin »

AS RECEIVED
-------------------

Princess Zahra visited Prince Aly Khan Hospital in Mumbay on 20h February 2012

Princess Zahra Aga Khan arrived in Mumbai on 19 February to visit the Prince Aly Khan Hospital (PAKH). The hospital is undergoing an expansion of its facilities, and Princess Zahra is the Chair of the Steering Committee for its redevelopment.

Opened on 30 June 1965, the Ismailia General Hospital started as a 16-bed facility in a rented flat in the Dongri area of Mumbai. It moved to the Aga Hall Estate in Mazgaon, Mumbai — grounds donated by Prince Aly Khan, who performed its foundation laying ceremony on 17 January 1955.

Today, Prince Aly Khan Hospital is a 162 bed, ISO certified, acute care, multi-specialty facility that aims to provide the highest standard of healthcare to all sections of society. Placing a particular emphasis on ethics and quality of service, the hospital also engages in education and research.

The new vision for the hospital will see it match the highest international standards of healthcare, research and medical education. Its new capacity will enable it to deliver increased access to high quality medical care for members of the Jamat and the wider community. As Head of the Social Welfare Department at Aiglemont, Princess Zahra oversees the work of the Aga Khan Health Services, the Aga Khan Education Services and Aga Khan Planning and Building Services. Together with members of the Steering Committee, she visited the Prince Aly Khan Hospital on the morning of 20 February 2012.

The visitors toured the newly expanded, state of the art, cardiac post-surgical intensive care unit. Additional beds will assist the unit in growing its popular cardiac surgery programme that provides high quality, yet affordable cardiac surgical services. They also visited the new, critical care unit. The hospital management explained that its commissioning will raise the critical care bed complement of PAKH to 27, enabling the hospital to meet the growing need for critical care in Mumbai.

At the conclusion of the PAKH visit, Princess Zahra toured the Aga Hall Estate and greeted members of the Jamat living in the vicinity.

Later in the day, Princess Zahra visited new developments within the city, including the Kokilaben Dhirubai Amabani Hospital, to evaluate current health care facilities available in Mumbai. She was welcomed by Mrs Tina Anil Ambani along with a cohort of senior doctors who gave Princess Zahra and the Steering Committee a complete tour of the hospital and its facilities.

Princess Zahra spent Tuesday in meetings with the Steering Committee, the working group and the board of Aga Khan Health Service, India deliberating on future plans for the expansion of Prince Aly Khan Hospital. They focused on options to put in place systems and programmes, as per Mawlana Hazar Imam’s guidance, which would impact the entire Jamat and the community at large for many generations to come.

Prince Aly Khan Hospital to make way for two high-rises
By Tariq Engineer, Mumbai Mirror | Updated: May 11, 2018


The two towers in Mazgaon will be used for free-sale and to rehouse existing tenants; a new hospital will come up on a nearby plot.

The 200-bed Prince Aly Khan Hospital, one of the city’s largest charitable hospitals, will be razed to make way for two high-rises on the Aga Hall Estate property in the heart of the city at Mazgaon.

While one of the high-rises, 48 storeys tall, will be used to re-house the existing tenants, about 200 of them, the other tower, a 57-storey building, roughly 233 metres tall, will be used for free-sale. The hospital will be rebuilt on another plot of land across the road from its current location.

According to its website, the hospital, part of the Aga Khan Development Network, has 201 in-patient beds and receives over 1,25,000 outpatients a year. It also provides free consultations to the poor. In addition to the hospital, the Aga Hall Estate houses the Aga Hall, a Jamat khana (both built around 1900), three residential buildings, a number of tenements and an unused school building.

The high-rises are part of the Prince Aly Khan Trust’s redevelopment plan. Both buildings will have multiple basements. Over 700 spots for car parking and over 180 spots for two-wheeler parking have been earmarked in the plan. The proposal has been submitted to the BMC’s high-rise committee. Since the hospital is a charitable trust and is registered with the Charity Commissioner, the commissioner’s approval is required as well.

The listed architect for the project is PG Patki Architects while the municipal consultants are Planet E Consultants. According to their website, PG Patki lists a number of Oberoi properties in their portfolio, including the Oberoi Mumbai, the Oberoi Delhi and the Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra.

Sandip Isore, the founder of Planet E consultants, told Mumbai Mirror that the 48-storey building will be used to rehabilitate the existing tenants while the 57-storey building will be free-sale, as per the redevelopment policy. Under the state’s Floor Space Index (FSI) policy, charitable establishments, such as hospitals, have to pay a five per cent premium for additional FSI. Isore explained that the hospital couldn’t be built in the same location because there wouldn’t be enough space left over after building the high-rises. He said the new hospital would be larger than the existing one and will have 300 to 350 beds. He hoped the project, once approved, would be completed within five to six years.

The hospital was originally set up in 1945 as a 16-bed facility in a rented flat at Dongri and was called the Ismaili General Hospital. It was originally run by volunteers and only treated members of the Ismaili community. It moved to its present location in 1955 with the help of the Aga Hall Estate. Three years later, the hospital opened its doors to the general public.

Earlier this year, the 81-year-old Aga Khan, Shah Karim Al Hussaini, visited Mumbai to mark the diamond jubilee of his ascension as the spiritual leader of the Shia Ismaili Muslim community. After his visit, a fundraising concert for the Prince Aly Khan hospital was held in Goregaon.

Congress MLA Amin Patel, who lives on the property, told Mirror that the motivation for the project is to expand the hospital. He said the Aga Khan had met with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on March 1 to discuss the expansion and the CM had assured him of the state’s assistance. “The high-rises are a by-product of the hospital expansion,” Patel said. According to him, the redevelopment will also include an IB school, which will come up where the hospital now stands, while the Diamond Jubilee school across the road will be demolished to make room for the new hospital. “It will be a multi-specialty hospital and the property will have ultramodern amenities,” Patel said.

Dr Sanjay Oak, the chief executive officer of the hospital, said the project was in a nascent stage and declined to comment further on the story.

The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) will spend Rs 2,000 crore to build a luxury residential property in south Mumbai’s Mazgaon area, its first commercial real estate project.

A total of 1.6 million square feet in two high-rises will be built on a 4.5 acre plot. The area currently houses the 77-year-old Prince Aly Khan Hospital and residential units, which will be demolished and reconstructed.

The upcoming project, named The Aga Hall Estate, will offer 373 two- and three-bedroom apartments. Construction has started and the completion, as per the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority, is in 2029.

The redevelopment project consists of two residential high-rises – a 45-storey building with apartments to rehabilitate about 155 existing residents and a 54-storey tower with apartments for sale.

Prices start at Rs 3.25 crore plus taxes for 660 sq. ft apartments up to the 30th floor, Rs 3.99 crore plus taxes for 841 sq. ft apartments till the 25th floor, and Rs 6.6 crore plus taxes for 1,404 sq. ft three-bedroom flats till the 20th floor, AKDN said in a statement on October 28.

Hospital reconstruction

The construction is being funded through the sale of apartments by the Prince Aly Khan Hospital with the support of AKDN and bank finance.

The Aga Hall Estate residential complex will include state-of-the-art infrastructure and facilities, the AKDN said in a statement on October 12. A key component of the project is the development of a new, multispecialty Prince Aly Khan Hospital, it said.

“Anticipating surplus revenue or profits from the investment will be difficult right now, but whatever amount will be generated as surplus revenue will be used for re-construction of Prince Aly Khan Hospital by the Prince Aly Khan Hospital Trust that owns the land and hospital,” said Vipin Mittal, CEO projects, Aga Khan Agency for Habitat India, which is part of the Aga Khan Foundation.

“The entire surplus revenue will be used for re-construction of the hospital under CSR initiative, and the hospital will be shifted in a land parcel opposite to the current location.”

The Prince Aly Khan Hospital dates back to 1945, when it started as a 16-bed facility in the Dongri area of south Mumbai. The hospital has since transformed into a 150-bed multispecialty facility that serves over 170,000 outpatients and 9,000 in-patients annually. It will now be converted into a 300-bed hospital.

“The intent is for the residential redevelopment to fund a new hospital facility. We have a unique opportunity here to build a hospital that will offer world-class, affordable healthcare, across a range of specialisations,” said Amin Manekia, chairman of Aga Khan Health Services, India.

Aga Hall was the home of the 1st Aga Khan who moved from Persia to India in the 1840s. It soon became home to the early Ismaili community in India.

During the construction, the 140-year-old Aga Hall Estate gate and fountain will be preserved for reinstallation.

“Aga Hall Estate has a long history associated with generations of my family and has been at the centre of community life for many decades, providing homes, education and health facilities to residents and the broader community of South Mumbai,” said Princess Zahra Aga Khan, daughter of global Shia spiritual leader, the Aga Khan.
“The aim of this redevelopment is to improve all of the facilities offered at the site and create a very high-quality experience for people living, visiting, or accessing the services at the complex.”
