MUMBAI: Tata Trusts will launch India’s first state-of-the-art Small Animal Hospital in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai next month. The hospital will be a first-of-its-kind and will be spread over 98,000-square-feet, with five floors and a capacity of over 200 beds.
Inspired by philanthropist and former Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata’s vision for a super speciality hospital for pets, the facility will provide round the clock services through pet-sensitised veterinarians, nurses and technicians trained to deliver quality care with a mission to save lives.
According to Tata, “Pets are the part of our family and their lives matter to every pet parent. When I looked around and saw the lack of infrastructure for pets in India, it made me wonder why in such a large country with a significant pet population we cannot have a facility that can save lives and make pet lives better.”
As one of India’s leading philanthropic institutions, Tata acknowledges the interconnected links between human health and animal health, and is committed to enhancing the quality of pet healthcare in the country. The hospital which is set to launch in phases will cover comprehensive advanced healthcare for pets across the continuum, right from consultation and diagnostics, to treatment, to high level nursing care, and resolution of their problems.
The hospital is situated in the land allocated by Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation to Tata Trusts’ Advanced Veterinary Care Facility (ACVF) in Mahalaxmi
