Mumbai (India), 23rd September 2026: Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital, a premier NABH and JCI-accredited tertiary care children’s hospital in Mumbai, managed by Narayana Health, has partnered with KidZania India, the country’s largest indoor edutainment theme park, to launch an immersive healthcare professional role-plays designed to inspire curiosity, empathy, and wellness in young children, guided by Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital’s pediatric excellence.

The all-new experience presents a unique opportunity for children to role-play as medical professionals across various hospital departments like surgery, nursery and the emergency unit, complete with battery-operated ambulance. It has been designed to allow them to experience medical situations and equipment first hand, learn about health and hygiene, and adopt skills like critical thinking, teamwork, empathy and compassionate care.

Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital, this unique experience to KidZania Mumbai to educate tomorrow’s healthcare leaders and inspire them to build a world where healthcare is accessible to everyone, a long term goal of the hospital.

The establishment was launched with a ceremonial event at the KidZania theatre with a key handover, ribbon cutting ceremony, and special performances, which made it a memorable event.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Balwinder Walia, Director – Narayana Health (West Cluster), said, “Our collaboration with KidZania Mumbai, offers children an immersive, hands-on introduction to healthcare, from emergency care and surgical procedures to newborn care, while highlighting the importance of teamwork, hygiene and empathy. We hope this experience sparks curiosity and helps young minds appreciate the dedication and skills behind quality healthcare.”

Mr. Tarandeep Singh, Chief Business Officer said: “At KidZania, we believe children learn best when they get to experience the real world for themselves. Healthcare is a part of every child’s life in some way, but very few get an opportunity to step into that world and understand what happens behind the scenes. The new Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital at KidZania Mumbai gives them exactly that a chance to role-play, explore and discover the world of healthcare while having fun.

I would also like to thank the entire team at Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital, Mumbai for working so closely with us to bring this experience to life. Their expertise and support have helped us create something that is not just fun for children, but also meaningful. We look forward to seeing our young citizens put on their doctor’s coats, get curious, ask questions and experience healthcare in a completely new way.”

Elaborating on the brand’s thought process behind bringing this immersive experience to life, Mr. Abhishek Misra, Country Head – Brand & Marketing, Narayana Health said, “At Narayana Health, we believe a strong healthcare brand is built not just through the care we provide, but through the experiences and conversations we create around healthcare. Our partnership with KidZania India allows us to take that belief beyond the hospital environment and engage with young minds in a way that is meaningful, interactive and memorable. By bringing the world of healthcare closer to children, we hope to build greater awareness around care, compassion and innovation, while creating a positive connection with healthcare from an early age.”

The new establishment at KidZania Mumbai offers a unique platform where fun meets foundational learning, allowing children to explore the world of medicine through immersive role-play. By bridging clinical expertise with creative discovery, Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital, Mumbai continue to foster curiosity and compassion in young minds. This initiative reflects a joint vision to inspire tomorrow’s healthcare leaders while encouraging healthy habits from an early age.
