Fadnavis launches Tina Ambani's second super-speciality hospital, in Navi Mumbai
Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra), July 7: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday inaugurated the second world-class super-speciality healthcare facility of the Reliance Hospital headed by Tina Ambani.
This is the second venture of the Reliance Group after the success of the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai since the past decade, said an official.
The super-speciality facility, a patient-centric tertiary care institution with emphasis on excellence in clinical services and diagnostic facilities, is spread over a 250,000 square feet, nine-storied building with 225 beds.
The state-of-the-art hospital has specialty departments across the spectrum offering medical care benchmarked to global best practices, underlined by ethos of transparency, care and compassion.
"Reliance Hospital is a natural progression in a transformative journey to bridge the gaps in India's healthcare fabric, a journey that began with the opening of the KDAH, Mumbai," said Tina Ambani on the occasion.
With the finest medical talent and best technologies working in concert, she said that "the hospital will now become a bastion of health and hope for the people of Navi Mumbai and surroundings in the firm belief that top-class medical care should be the prerogative of all Indians and not just a privileged few".
Some of the specialty departments on offer at the Reliance Hospital, Navi Mumbai, include oncology, orthopaedics, cardiac, emergency and many others across the spectrum under a single roof, powered by a team of nationally and globally renowned medical professionals besides visiting consultants.

Mumbai family deaths: FDA finds no watermelon vendor in area to check for affected stock
Mumbai (PTI): The Food and Drug Administration team probing the cause of death of four members of a family in south Mumbai's JJ Marg area have not been able to zero in on any watermelon vendor in the vicinity to check if the fruit had a role to play in the ill-fated incident, an official said on Thursday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am, hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
"The FDA team visited the house of Dokadia and collected samples of chicken pulao and watermelon pieces. After two days, the leftover chicken pulao had developed fungus growth. The team also tried to locate watermelon vendors to check for any affected lots," he said.
But no vendors were found in the area for the past two days, preventing the FDA team from getting samples, the official added.
The FDA has requested the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to share the report on the food samples collected by them, he added.
A senior Mumbai police official said the force is waiting for FSL reports in the case, adding that questions on presence of sedatives etc in the fruit could be answered only then.
The statements of the kin of the deceased are being recorded to ascertain if it is a case of mass suicide, and it is being checked if the Dokadia family were in debt or distressed over some issue, the police official said.
