To celebrate the spirit of the festive season, Nita M Ambani, Founder and Chairperson of the Reliance Foundation, has inaugurated JEEVAN—a state-of-the-art wing at the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai. This new centre, specialising in advanced cancer and dialysis care, is a heartfelt tribute to her late father, Ravindrabhai Dalal, and reflects his lifelong commitment to service, kindness, and the inherent value of every human life.
A New Wing of Compassion
JEEVAN is designed to address the growing need for high-quality, affordable oncology and renal care in India. The centre focuses on cutting-edge treatments, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, alongside a robust dialysis unit. By integrating advanced medical technology with a patient-centric approach, the facility aims to provide seamless, holistic care under one roof. The inauguration marks a significant milestone in the Reliance Foundation’s mission to make world-class healthcare accessible to all, particularly as the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital celebrates a decade of clinical excellence.
Healing the Youngest Patients
At the heart of the JEEVAN centre is a specially designed paediatric chemotherapy ward. Recognising that children require more than just medical intervention, the ward has been created with a “home-away-from-home” philosophy. It features vibrant, child-friendly aesthetics intended to reduce the anxiety and fear often associated with cancer treatment. Nita Ambani emphasised that the ward’s goal is to ensure every child receives healing wrapped in warmth, comfort, and a mother’s compassion, allowing them to navigate their recovery in an environment that fosters hope and resilience.
Legacy of Service
The naming of the centre is deeply personal. JEEVAN (meaning ‘life’) serves as a living memorial to the values embodied by Ravindrabhai Dalal. His legacy of empathy and respect for the underprivileged has long been the North Star for Nita Ambani’s philanthropic endeavours. This new wing complements the foundation’s “New Health Seva Plan”, which recently pledged free screenings and treatments for 1,00,000 women and children from marginalised communities.
As Mumbai enters the new year, JEEVAN stands not just as a medical facility but as a beacon of hope—where the latest innovations in AI-powered diagnostics and medical science meet the timeless values of dignity and care for the human spirit.
