Maruti Suzuki India has partnered with Zydus Hospitals, a leading provider of healthcare services, to set up a modern Polyclinic (Health centre) facility at Becharaji.
The facility will be managed and operated by Ramanbhai Foundation through Zydus Hospitals. The facility will be fully funded by Maruti Suzuki India through its CSR arm, Maruti Suzuki Foundation.
Under this CSR initiative, Maruti Suzuki will invest over Rs. 3.3 crore to set up and fully equip this facility. With services being offered at subsidized rates, Maruti Suzuki will bear the costs of maintaining and operating this facility.
Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director, MSIL, said, ''Residents of Becharaji and neighbouring areas require access to good quality healthcare at affordable rates. To meet this need, Maruti Suzuki has taken a first step by setting up a Polyclinic to offer primary health and diagnostic services. Together with our interventions in water and sanitation, infrastructure development and education, we recognize that health care is of prime importance in improving the quality of life of local residents. We are thankful to Zydus Hospitals, a leading healthcare service provider, for partnering with us and taking the responsibility of managing and operating this facility.''
