Living up to Saint Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural that says

“The pride of being a philanthropist belongs to those

who have that quality called perseverance,” and

“One should give to the poor and live to gain fame,

there is no other reward for life than that fame,”

Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, has on Monday announced the launch of Rs 6,000 crore Adani Health City (AHC) integrated health campuses, to be implemented through the Group’s not-for-profit healthcare arm.

The expenditure is part of Rs 10,000 crore that Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, had pledged when his younger son Jeet got married last week.

In line with Gautam Adani’s social philosophy of सेवा साधना है, सेवा प्रार्थना है और सेवा ही परमात्मा है, the Adani family will fully meet the cost of bringing affordable, world-class medical care and medical education to people from all strata of society pan India. The family will donate upwards of Rs 6,000 Cr to build the first two of these integrated health campuses in Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Gautam Adani has plans for more such integrated Adani Health Cities in cities and towns across India, the statement said.

Each of these integrated AHC campuses will comprise 1,000-bed multi-super-specialty hospitals, medical colleges with an annual intake of 150 undergraduates, 80+ residents and 40+ fellows, step-down and transitional care facilities, and cutting-edge research facilities. The AHC medical ecosystem aims to serve people from all socio-economic backgrounds, train the next generation of doctors and focus on clinical research, artificial intelligence and biomedical informatics.

The Adani Group has engaged USA’s Mayo Clinic Global Consulting (Mayo Clinic) to provide strategic advice on organizational objectives and clinical practices at these establishments. Mayo Clinic will also offer expert guidance on the integration of technology, with a focus on digital and information technology and healthcare quality enhancement.

“Two years ago, as a gift to me on my 60^th birthday, my family committed Rs 60,000 Cr towards improving healthcare, education and skill development,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group.

“The development of Adani Health City is the first of many major projects from this contribution, which will go a long way towards providing affordable, world-class healthcare to people from every section of Indian society. I am confident that our partnership with Mayo Clinic, the world’s largest integrated not-for-profit medical group practice, will help to elevate healthcare standards in India, with a special emphasis on complex disease care and medical innovation,” added Adani.

Mayo Clinic extends its expertise to independent healthcare providers wherever they are located. The Mayo Clinic program provides a tailored approach by designing engagements that help clients get the right answers from the right experts to help them achieve their goals.
