This morning His Highness the Aga Khan visited the Prince Aly Khan Hospital in Mumbai.
Established in 1945, the hospital was named after His Highness’s father, Prince Aly Khan, who donated the land upon which it was built. Thousands of members of the community gathered outside the hospital, located on the Aga Hall Estate, to welcome their Imam.
During his visit, His Highness toured the facility. He also met with the Senior Management of the hospital and the Directors of the Aga Khan Health Services in India.
From the hospital, His Highness went to the Diamond Jubilee High School in Mumbai.

Originally established in 1947 following the Diamond Jubilee of Imam Sultan Mahomed Shah (Aga Khan III), the school was last visited by His Highness the Aga Khan IV in 1958. In 2007, it moved to a new site which was inaugurated by Princess Zahra.
During his visit, His Highness reviewed the school facilities and met briefly with the Directors of the Aga Khan Education Service in India.
