In 1969, Dr. H. V. Pophale, retired Superintendent of St. George’s Hospital and Professor of Medicine (Emeritus for Life) from Grant Medical College & Sir. J.J. Group of Hospitals, in partnership with his wife, Mrs. Sudha Hari Pophale, started a medical center—“Pophale Nursing Home”—to provide quality and affordable healthcare services for the urban middle classes. Our commitment to excellence in women's healthcare has made us a trusted name in family planning, delivery services, and gynecology.

A Trust: “The Family Planning & Medical Aid Trust” was also established to concert efforts toward containing one of the biggest social problems of that time: the population explosion.

Under the visionary guidance of our co-founders, Dr. H.V. Pophale and Mrs. Sudha Hari Pophale, the initiatives of the Family Planning & Medical Aid Trust gained appreciation in the highest echelons of the Government—both Central and State—as well as from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and the WHO.

During the era of government-supported family planning, Dr. Sandhya Pophale performed, free of cost, more than a lakh tubal ligation surgeries along with thousands of other family planning procedures. These efforts benefited the very poorest of the poor in our society and earned our institute the prestigious FICCI award (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, New Delhi).

Thus, for over 50 years, The Family Planning & Medical Aid Trust (in association with Pophale Nursing Home) has been dedicated to providing women with quality and affordable obstetric and gynaecological services. In addition to our core services, we now extend our expertise to advanced fertility treatments, including test tube baby services, ensuring comprehensive women's healthcare at every stage of life.
