Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity announces a £15 m donation from Aditya and Megha Mittal and the family, towards a new £321 m children’s medical centre, to be named the Mittal Children’s Medical Centre.
This ambitious project is the crucial next stage of redevelopment of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. It will offer facilities for a wide range of conditions, including the following three specialities where we are the largest centre in the UK:
- children with heart and lung conditions
- children requiring neurosurgery
- children with renal problems
This is the largest single donation to the hospital.
Aditya and Megha Mittal said today, “We believe that the Great Ormond Street Hospital does outstanding work in the field of children’s health. Through this contribution, we hope that more children will be able to access appropriate medical care.”
Great Ormond Street Hospital Chief Executive Dr Jane Collins warmly welcomed the donation. She said today, “The Mittal Children’s Medical Centre will provide the facilities our children and their families deserve, and where our expert staff can deliver the sort of care they passionately want to do. We face increasing demand for our services but we also need to offer care in a less stressful way. This support really is tremendous news. With such a mountain to climb in terms of the finance, this investment from the Mittal family is very heartening, and gives us confidence to go forward.”
