Free Rides for Treatment, Consultations
The vehicle will provide free transport for families whose children are undergoing treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses at hospitals in the city. Families staying at the Mahim facility often need to travel frequently for medical procedures, consultations and follow-up care. The newly donated van can accommodate 12 to 14 passengers at a time, ensuring safer and more convenient travel between the House and partner hospitals.
At its Mumbai centre in Mahim, Ronald McDonald House India offers free accommodation and support services to families who travel from across Maharashtra and neighbouring states for their children’s treatment.
'Transport Eases Burden in Busy City'
Smita Jatia, chairperson of Ronald McDonald House India, said dependable transport can significantly ease the burden faced by families seeking treatment in a busy city. “At Ronald McDonald House India, we stand with families whose children are battling serious illnesses, often far away from home. For many parents travelling to a busy city like Mumbai for life-saving treatment, the emotional and practical challenges can feel overwhelming,” she said, adding that the organisation aims to reduce this stress by providing a supportive environment close to hospitals.
