Four years of clinical solidarity & growth
The Vasai-Naigaon Doctors Association is the apex voluntary body representing practising physicians, surgeons, and specialists across the Vasai-Virar municipal corridor of Palghar district.
A unified medical collective for Vasai, Virar & Naigaon
The association was founded four years ago in 2022 by dedicated physicians and specialists practising across Vasai, Virar, and Naigaon, who set out to build a unified medical collective advocating for ethical clinical practice, continuous academic enrichment, and the welfare and safety of its peers.
Over the last four years, it has grown rapidly into a vital medical body representing over 520+ registered practitioners across more than nineteen clinical specialties, from single-doctor family practices to multispeciality hospitals.
