I have been visiting the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital whilst I'm in the city & the facility houses India's only formal sports medicine department. Following a western model of healthcare, the KDAH employs 9 dedicated sports physiotherapists, led by South African Heath Matthews. Heath had previously been working around India for the Mittal Trust & had also spent some time on the ATP tour with Sania Mirza & Mahesh Bhupathi, prior to moving to Mumbai.
The people here have been incredibly hospitable & last night I spent time with Heath, his fiancée & friends for dinner, which was a great evening, spent finding out how this mixed bag of South Africans, Australians, Uruguans & Germans came to find themselves in the city. Tomorrow night we are heading to Bandra, which is supposedly the up & coming area of Mumbai, just north of the Sea Link bridge...should be good!!
