Giving back to society, industrialists Yohan and Michelle Poonawalla, through The Yohan Poonawalla Foundation, have extended their generous support with a significant donation of INR 5 Crores towards the building of a cutting-edge Neurological and Trauma Care Unit (NTU) at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune. The newly built NTU Unit 3, a specialised 11-bed facility catering to neurological, trauma-based, and stroke patients, is a crucial addition to the hospital’s existing infrastructure. In recognition of their contribution, the unit will be named after the Yohan Poonawalla Foundation.
This initiative is part of Ruby Hall Clinic’s larger NTU Unit 3 project and marks an important step forward in the hospital’s commitment to providing specialised and life-saving medical care. The new unit is equipped to offer best-in-class, round-the-clock treatment for patients facing critical conditions and will help meet the growing need for specialised neuro and trauma care in the region.
Renowned industrialist Yohan Poonawalla, known for his business leadership and focus on social impact, shared, “Our foundation has always believed in giving back to the city and the country in abundance that has given us so much. With this contribution to Ruby Hall Clinic, we hope to make a lasting impact in the field of healthcare. The facility is a tribute to all those fighting life’s toughest battles and to the doctors and caregivers who stand by them.”
Commenting about the initiative, Michelle Poonawalla, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the visionary force behind several of the Poonawalla family’s charitable endeavours, said, “Healthcare has always been a key focus area for us. We are deeply committed to contributing to the welfare of our community and ensuring access to quality medical care. The NTU Unit at Ruby Hall Clinic is not just a facility, but a lifeline for families and patients navigating the most difficult of circumstances. We are honoured to support this critical project.”
Established in 1959, Ruby Hall Clinic has long stood as one of India’s premier multi-speciality hospitals. Known for its medical excellence, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and a team of renowned specialists, the hospital continues to set benchmarks in the Indian healthcare landscape. The addition of the NTU Unit 3 marks another milestone in its legacy of service and innovation.
The Yohan Poonawalla Foundation has consistently demonstrated a strong sense of civic responsibility. From contributing to heritage restoration, such as the acclaimed revamp of the Pune Turf Club, to healthcare and education, the organisation continues to make a difference across diverse spheres of public life.
