In April 2023, Maruti Suzuki established a Cath Lab facility at Zydus Sitapur Hospital. This lab ensures proper cardiac care for about 400 villages located in 12 sub-districts of Gujarat, such as Becharaji, Mandal, Mehsana, Patan, Viramgam and so on. Set up with an investment of Rs. 5.6 crore, the Cath Lab is fully funded by Maruti Suzuki under the company’s CSR initiative.
The Cath Lab has successfully completed one year, and as of now, Maruti Suzuki’s total investment in the Zydus Sitapur Hospital stands at Rs 160 crore. The hospital also offers several other facilities such as General Medicine, Orthopedics, Trauma, Gynaecology, Urology, Nephrology and Dialysis.
Rahul Bharti, Executive Officer, Corporate Affairs, MSIL, said that the Cath Lab underlines Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to support local healthcare infrastructure with last-mile access to cardiac treatment in the region. He also stated that the brand’s efforts have helped Zydus serve 240 heart patients belonging to low-income groups under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
