Government of Maharashtra, Cleveland Clinic, Brookfield Asset Management, and Arodhan Health City Join Hands to Create a Global Healthcare, Research & Innovation Hub

In a landmark step toward strengthening India’s healthcare infrastructure and global medical innovation ecosystem, the Government of Maharashtra has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cleveland Clinic, Brookfield Asset Management, and Arodhan Health City to develop the Navi Mumbai International MediCity (NMIMC).

The announcement was made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who described the initiative as a transformative milestone for the state’s healthcare landscape and India’s ambition to become a global healthcare destination.

The proposed project is expected to attract approximately $1.2 billion in global investment and generate nearly 10,000 employment opportunities, contributing significantly to healthcare-led economic growth in the region.

Spread across 250 acres in Navi Mumbai, NMIMC is envisioned as an integrated healthcare ecosystem bringing together advanced patient care, medical education, research, healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence, genomics, and life sciences under one platform.

A key highlight of the project is the participation of Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s leading healthcare institutions headquartered in Ohio, USA, which will serve as the anchor partner for the initiative. The collaboration is expected to enhance access to specialized healthcare services, strengthen clinical excellence, and support India’s growing medical tourism sector.

According to the Maharashtra government, the Navi Mumbai International MediCity will foster collaboration among healthcare providers, researchers, academic institutions, technology innovators, and industry stakeholders to accelerate advancements in healthcare delivery and medical research.

Sharing details about the project, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the initiative aims to create a world-class healthcare ecosystem that integrates cutting-edge patient care with research, innovation, artificial intelligence, genomics, and medical education at an unprecedented scale.

The project also aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “Heal in India,” which seeks to position India as a global hub for healthcare services, medical research, innovation, and wellness tourism.

Strategically located near the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the upcoming Third Mumbai development corridor, the MediCity is expected to offer seamless international connectivity and attract patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and investors from across the world.

The MoU signing ceremony witnessed participation from senior leaders representing all partner organizations, including Dr. Tomislav Mihaljevic, Chief Executive Officer of Cleveland Clinic; Dr. Sameer Kapadia, Chairman of Cardiovascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic; Dr. Falcone, President for Emerging Markets at Cleveland Clinic; and Lakshmi Mittal, Executive Chairman of ArcelorMittal and member of Cleveland Clinic’s Board of Directors.

With its focus on advanced healthcare delivery, innovation, research, and education, the Navi Mumbai International MediCity is poised to become one of India’s most ambitious healthcare infrastructure projects and a significant milestone in the country’s journey toward becoming a global healthcare powerhouse.
