L.T.M.G. Hospital is a teaching hospital in a vital area of Mumbai. Due to its location at the termination of both the Eastern and Western Express Highways, it receives the victims of most vehicular accidents. It also receives accident victims from the Main and Harbor Railway lines. The hospital also faces the brunt of any riots that occur north of the city, in the communally sensitive areas of Dharavi and Koliwada. Well-equipped and specialized Intensive Care Units extend the much needed "right help at the right moment," thus salvaging many critically-ill patients.

In addition, it provides the much-needed care to the average person through its speciality departments. This kind of care would otherwise be unavailable in the smaller hospitals. Our community health care medicine and family welfare programs help the poor with their illnesses, plan their family and ensure survival of their children.
