Adani To Spend Rs 6,000 Cr To Set Up Healthcare Infra With Mayo Clinic

New Delhi: Adani Group is set to spend Rs 6,000 crore in setting up two 1,000-bed multi-specialty hospitals and medical colleges in Mumbai and Ahmedabad in partnership with Mayo Clinic.

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.

Mayo Clinic, the world’s largest integrated not-for-profit medical group practice, will provide technical expertise, Adani Group said in a statement.

“Adani Group will fully meet the cost of building affordable, world-class medical care and medical education to people from all strata of society pan India,” it said. “The family will donate upwards of Rs 6,000 crore 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 without giving details.

Each of these integrated 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.

This “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,” it said.

Adani Group has engaged USA’s 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.
