Healthcare, education imperative for country’s progress, says Nita Ambani

Healthcare, education imperative for country's progress, says Nita AmbaniDelhi :In an interview, Reliance Foundation Chairperson Nita Ambani talks about importance of healthcare and education in India. In India, with a population of 1.25 billion people, I feel healthcare and education are imperative for our country’s progress and for the well-being of the people.

I started working on this hospital in March 2011. The heritage building has a legacy of 90 years and it was meant for the people of Mumbai and when I started to revamp this hospital, I wanted to concentrate on retaining the same values that it had been built for – Quality care for all the people of Mumbai.

There is no discrimination in the service to the people. Whether you are in the free beds or anywhere else in the hospital, the quality remains the same. The motto is – Respect for Life – because every life deserves to be lived to the fullest and that was the driving principle in our minds.

We also have a little play school within the hospital in the pediatric floor, for all the kids who have to stay away from school for long terms. The baby centre is very close to the heart. The neo natal centre is an ICU for little babies and not only babies born in this hospital, but also the ones born outside can be brought in for care. Reduce infant mortality – That’s the vision.
