A novel approach in holistic healing' – is what many visitors comment about J Watumull Global Hospital &Research Centre. Our founder trustees include an industrialist, a surgeon and a spiritual leader. In 1989, eminent head and neck cancer surgeon from Mumbai, Dr Ashok Mehta visited the Brahma Kumaris in Mount Abu and believed they were an ideal, like-minded group of people he could partner, to implement his vision of a model hospital focusing on holistic healthcare. The project was adopted by our founder mentors, Mr Khuba Watumull and Mr Gulab Watumull of Mumbai and Hawaii (U.S.A.) respectively, and named J Watumull Global Hospital & Research Centre, in memory of their late father. BK Nirwair, officer-in-charge of the Brahma Kumaris international headquarters at Mount Abu was appointed Managing Trustee of the hospitals' governing board, the Global Hospital & Research Centre trust.
Our founder Trustees envisaged that a multi-disciplinary secondary care hospital at Mount Abu would help bridge the existing deficiency in available health services in district Sirohi, Rajasthan. At the time, four hospitals with a combined bed strength of 457 served the district's roughly 700,000 strong population. Besides offering medical services through out-patient clinics and ward admissions, the hospital was expected to focus on outreach health care, medical research, vocational education in paramedical streams and the promotion of health awareness.
