Small Animal Hospital in Mumbai was Ratan Tata’s last project close to his heart

Industrial Ratan Tata's last 'pet project' months before he died was a hospital for animals in Mumbai. Located in Mahalaxmi, the hospital opened in July and is a five-storey centre that can house almost 200 patients.

Ratan Tata, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, died at 86. Just on Monday, the industrialist in a social media post had dismissed speculation surrounding his health and had said he was undergoing routine medical investigations due to his age.

The animal hospital, which cost Rs 165 crore to construct, is led by British veterinarian Thomas Heathcote.
