The hospital is currently in the process of modernizing and upgrading its Radiology Department and introducing Health check-up facilities in the coming year. Its constant endeavour has been to create new services and facilities to ensure giving the best possible service to society at large, and to the Parsi community in particular.

Says Mrs. Bacha Thanewalla, who underwent surgery for her shoulder, “the Parsi Special Room is excellent in terms of facilities and care. I enjoyed the food and the service. Besides, the hospital rates were extremely reasonable.”

Patients admitted for Neurorehabilitation for which Masina Hospital has a special package, found it highly advantageous. The treatment helps patients who after neurological illnesses find it difficult to be independent in the home environment. Comprehensive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nutritional therapy and counselling help in achieving high levels of independence.
