Radia enters healthcare biz; Tata inaugurates first hospital

Mathura

Inaugurating the 351-bed multi super specialty hospital, Tata said, "It is heartening to see a full fledged specialty hospital being established in Mathura with considerable personal sacrifice, driven by passion and a genuine desire to serve the community."

The hospital would provide "much needed medical help and health care facilities for the people of the region", the Tata Group Chairman Emeritus said.

Radia said the hospital is poised to serve not only the population of Western Uttar Pradesh but will be the centre of excellence for the whole of North India.

The hospital would aim to reduce the physical, emotional and economic burden of illness that blights the life of ordinary people in tier II and tier III towns by taking treatment to the patients, she added.

Nayati Healthcare & Research Pvt Ltd, a multi super specialty healthcare chain, has decided to start operations in Tier II and Tier III cities.

Radia, once known as an influential corporate lobbyist, had landed in controversy few years back following leak of her alleged taped conversations with prominent politicians, businessmen and media persons.

Subsequently, she wound up her PR business comprising among other entities of Vaishnavi Corporate Communications, which handled various clients including Tata Group and Unitech and of Neucom Consulting which managed the account of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries.
