Jupiter Hospital is a well-known hospital brand that follows the ‘Patient first’ ideology. The group has hospitals located in Thane, Pune and Indore.
Dr. Rajendra Patankar was recently appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Jupiter Hospital, Pune. Executives India Magazine was able to get a glimpse of how the journey has been for this experienced personnel as he took up this role of authority.
Jupiter Hospital was established over the last two decades in Thane. To cater to the ever- changing healthcare needs of the public, the organization decided to expand itself and commissioned a beautifully designed, star rated BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) building with capacity of 375 beds spread across 10 floors at Pune. The management was focused at creating a functionally and artistically future ready hospital structure with ‘Patient’ as the focus.
Dr. Rajendra has previously worked at Nanavati Super Specialty Hospital, Mumbai for almost 6 years, especially during its turnaround process. He has also worked with other leading and prominent Hospital Groups like Hinduja Hospital, Manipal Hospital, Fortis Healthcare, Aster DM Healthcare and Surya Child Care. With more than 20 years of experience, his operational excellence seems to be exactly what the organization needed.
“I felt that my role in Nanavati Hospital back then was fulfilled and I could play a bigger role in developing the new facility at Jupiter Hospital, Pune. This facility is a delight for any hospital Planner and administrator. One finds this as one of the best-designed and futuristic hospitals in this country at par with International Standards. As a student of Hospital Administration & Planning, one is impressed to see how the fundamental process of – ‘Design follows the function’ is clearly embodied in its entirety. That is what exactly you can see over here. For me, the functionality of the property is most important. The design comes later. The overall space planning along with the logical functional flow of various departments is a delight for any Hospital Administrator to manage or for any patient to experience. The design of this hospital gives an insight on the vision of the promoters where patient and quality comes first
