Kaushalya Medical Foundation was formed in 1985 to fulfill the demand of increasing healthcare needs of Thane city and district. The founders of the trust Dr H S Bhanushali , Dr M V Sohoni and Dr (Mrs) A H Bhanushali had envisioned that affordable medical treatment particularly for surgical fields like General Surgery, Orthopedics, Gynaecology, etc were needed for the fast growing middle class bastion that is- Thane and surrounding areas and hence the name “Kaushalya” which denoted the skill that the doctors use to perform a surgery was chosen. With this in mind a small hospital was started near Thane station ( near present day McDonalds) which had primarily general ward beds and an Operation Theatre. Young Doctors especially surgeons from Thane used to operate at extremely low cost and many times free as well.
