Ratan Tata is one of the most celebrated billionaires in India with a massive following of social media platforms. Known for his philanthropy, wisdom and business skills, Ratan Tata is the chairman emeritus of Tata Sons. Often in the news for his charitable acts, Ratan is the chief of Tata Trusts and he has announced the launch of a much awaited animal hospital. In a small message announcing the launch of Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital, Ratan Tata shared the image of himself with the doctors along with a caption ‘We are open’. Tata Group has been empathetic towards animals and have launched several campaigns to raise awareness for the same. Continuing on that path, Ratan Tata has launched one of India’s largest animal hospitals.

Called the Tata Trusts Small Animal Hospital, the ‘pet’ project of Ratan Tata is built in Mumbai at a cost of Rs 1650000000. Spread across 2.2 acres, it is one of the few hospitals for dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals that is operational 24x7. “A pet is no different from a member of one’s family today. As the guardian of several pets throughout my life, I recognise the need for this hospital,” Ratan Tata said while speaking to the Times of India.

Ratan Tata’s new hospital for animals has partnered with five UK veterinary schools including the Royal Veterinary College London for training. The hospital will offer surgical, diagnostic and pharmacy services along with multidisciplinary care. The hospital is ground plus-four storey and has a capacity for 200 patients. It will be led by British veterinarian Thomas Heathcote.
