Dr. Niteen Dedhia set up Ojas Eye Hospital in January of 1987 with the aim to serve people in their quest for health and well-being - specifically in the field of Advanced Ophthalmology. Located in a small clinic, called Elite Nursing Home, Bandra, it represented the first step of a long journey. Befitting its lofty goals, the first center was inaugurated by Dr. Chandrika Kenia, the then Health Minister of the Government of Maharashtra.
