'''Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital''' is a tertiary-care [[hospital]] in [[Four Bungalows]], [[Mumbai]], [[India]]. The hospital is named after Kokilaben Ambani, wife of industrialist [[Dhirubhai Ambani]], who was the founder of [[Reliance Industries]].

==History==
The 750 bed multi-speciality hospital became operational in the first week of 2009. The project was initiated in 1999 by [[Nitu Mandke]] as a large-scale heart hospital, but ran into troubles after his death in 2003. Subsequently, it was completed by the [[Anil Ambani]]-led [[Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group|Reliance ADA]] group.<ref name="mandkebeat">{{cite news|last1=Mishra|first1=Nirmal|title=Heart hospital gets its beat back|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-heart-hospital-gets-its-beat-back-8765|accessdate=19 May 2017|work=[[Daily News and Analysis]]|date=2005-11-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170522231159/http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-heart-hospital-gets-its-beat-back-8765#|archive-date=22 May 2017|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The hospital has boasted of many firsts not only in India but also in [[Asia]].
