Reliance Foundation Hospital has been driven by our vision to make world-class healthcare accessible and affordable to every Indian. As we celebrate this milestone, we have launched a New Health Seva Plan, free of cost, for children and women from marginalized communities. Good health is the foundation of a prosperous nation, and healthy women and children are the bedrock of a thriving society."
In its decade-long journey, Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital has touched the lives of 2.75 million Indians, including over 1.5 lakh children, by delivering high-quality healthcare services, advanced clinical care, and state-of-the-art technology. The hospital has performed over 500 organ transplants and set a national record for transplanting six organs within 24 hours, saving multiple lives.
