The Saifee Hospital is a hospital in the Charni Road region of Mumbai, India. It has 33 specialised departments, more than 400 doctors and 236 beds.
In 1884, Sir Adamji Peerbhoy, a bohra philanthropist from Mumbai, India, built several properties (a burial ground, a Senatorium (on Charni Road), and a Community Hospital) for the benefit of the poor and the needy. A trust was formed for undertaking the properties use for the benefit, service and wellbeing of the Kaum (community). The trustees handed over the properties to the father of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, Syedna Taher Saifuddin. The hospital was later renamed Saifee Hospital. In June 2005 the Hospital was renovated by the head of the Dawoodi bohra community Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (Head of the Dawoodi Bohra Community since 1965) with contributions from Community members and was inaugurated in June 2005 by the Prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh. Today, the hospital is one of the most technologically advanced hospitals in the entire country.
