Ruby Hall Clinic had a humble beginning when the founder chairman Dr. K.B. Grant, an eminent Cardiologist himself, started a small Nursing Home in 1959 in the bungalow Ruby Hall, owned by General David Sassoon at the present location of the hospital with just two beds. In 1966 it was converted from a private institution to a public charitable trust – Poona Medical Foundation. It was later converted to the Grant Medical Foundation in 2000.
