Speaking at the inauguration, Baba Sai Kaliram Saheb ji said, "Good health is the foundation of a happy and thriving community. In today's fast-paced world, families often face challenges in accessing timely and specialized medical care, especially for the elderly, those living with chronic illnesses, and patients requiring regular treatment. The establishment of Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar is a meaningful step towards bringing quality healthcare closer to the people, reducing the burden of travel and making expert medical guidance more accessible. When healthcare is available within the community, it not only supports physical well-being but also provides comfort and reassurance to patients and their families during difficult times. It is heartening to see initiatives that prioritize the health and welfare of the community and contribute towards building a healthier future for all."
The centre brings together specialists from multiple disciplines under one roof, enabling coordinated care for patients with complex and chronic health conditions. Through an integrated outpatient model, patients can access consultations, follow-up care, diagnostics coordination, and treatment planning seamlessly, improving convenience and clinical outcomes.
Dr S. Narayani, Business Head-Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra, said, "The launch of Fortis Medical Centre in Ulhasnagar marks an important step in our commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare across the city.

With plans to introduce oncology day-care services in the near future, we are building a healthcare ecosystem that not only addresses current healthcare requirements but is also equipped to meet the growing needs of the region in the years ahead."
Beyond outpatient care, the centre is equipped to facilitate timely emergency response and patient transfers. In critical situations, patients can be rapidly referred and transferred to nearby hospitals or to Fortis Hospitals in Kalyan and Mulund, ensuring access to advanced tertiary and quaternary care whenever required. This integrated transfer network is expected to significantly enhance emergency preparedness and continuity of treatment, particularly for patients requiring specialized interventions.
