Mumbai’s healthcare infrastructure has received a significant boost with the opening of a new lung wellness centre designed by hospital planning consultancy HOSMAC. Situated in Prabhadevi, the approximately 8,000 sq. ft. facility represents a strategic expansion of Cipla’s Breathefree initiative, providing diagnostic, therapeutic, and wellness services for respiratory care under a single roof.
The project stands out for its adaptive reuse of an existing urban structure. Previously functioning as a banquet hall, the space underwent extensive structural assessments and retrofitting to meet stringent healthcare standards. By preserving the building’s integrity while upgrading it to a fully compliant medical environment, HOSMAC demonstrates how underutilised urban spaces can be converted efficiently into essential healthcare infrastructure, aligning with broader goals of sustainable urban development. Delivered entirely on the ground floor, the centre integrates medical planning, MEP systems, and interior design in a turnkey model. The interiors depart from traditional hospital aesthetics, adopting a wellness-led approach that prioritises patient comfort and emotional well-being. Eco-friendly materials and thoughtfully curated spaces aim to reduce stress, enhance the sensory environment, and create a more human-centric healthcare experience.
The facility includes three outpatient consultation rooms, a physiotherapy unit, a sputum laboratory, and advanced diagnostic capabilities such as X-ray and CT scan facilities. Circulation and zoning have been carefully planned to ensure smooth patient flow, even within the constraints of a retrofitted structure. Industry experts note that such integrated planning is crucial for both clinical efficiency and patient satisfaction, particularly in high-density urban settings where space is limited. Senior healthcare planners highlight that the Breathefree Lung Wellness Centre reflects an evolving trend in Indian urban healthcare: patient-centric, experience-led design that balances clinical rigor with emotional and environmental considerations. Adaptive reuse projects like this not only reduce the environmental footprint of new construction but also make specialised healthcare more accessible within city limits.
The Mumbai centre complements Cipla’s existing lung health initiatives and underscores the growing emphasis on wellness-oriented care. By leveraging innovative design approaches, HOSMAC has delivered a facility that combines clinical functionality, regulatory compliance, and sustainability, setting a benchmark for future healthcare projects in urban India.
