The road from a small diabetic set up to a super speciality hospital, providing tertiary care, has been a long one. The journey however, is not over as the S.L. Raheja Hospital still seeks new areas of medicine it can explore.

Like all things grand, the S.L. Raheja story too had a humble beginning – the formation of the Diabetic Association of India in 1955. While the Association was formed to educate and disseminate information concerning diabetes to the public, it soon became apparent that members of the medical profession also needed to be educated and trained in this field. To accomplish this goal, the All India Institute of Diabetes was established under the aegis of the Diabetic Association of India in 1974. Diabetes as an ailment found new combatants as the institute educated and trained a whole new generation of doctors in the field of Diabetology.
