November 04, 2025: In a significant move to bolster passenger and staff safety, the Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited (NMIAL) has partnered with Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, to build a robust healthcare infrastructure within the upcoming airport complex. The initiative aims to provide world-class medical support and emergency care facilities at what will soon become one of India’s largest aviation hubs.
Six Apollo Medical Centres at Terminal 1
As part of this partnership, six Apollo Medical Centres are being established at Terminal 1 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport. Each centre will be staffed with Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)-certified doctors, trained nurses, and skilled emergency responders. Operating 24×7, these centres will cater to passengers, airline crew, and airport personnel, offering both emergency and preventive medical services that meet global standards.
Rapid Response and Advanced Emergency Readiness
To ensure swift medical intervention, two ICU-equipped ambulances will be strategically positioned across the airport premises. Additionally, 65 Automated External Defibrillator (AED) units will be installed to provide immediate assistance during cardiac or other medical emergencies. All emergency operations will be integrated with Apollo’s advanced communication systems for efficient coordination and rapid response.
Apollo to Lead Emergency and Disaster Management
Located just four kilometres from the airport, Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai will lead NMIAL’s emergency and disaster management preparedness. The hospital will conduct simulation drills, provide expert medical leadership, and offer on-ground support during critical situations.
This collaboration marks a major milestone in creating a comprehensive, world-class healthcare ecosystem at Navi Mumbai International Airport, reaffirming NMIAL and Apollo Hospitals’ shared commitment to ensuring safety, health, and well-being for every traveller and staff member.
