Aakash Healthcare Managing Director Aashish Chaudhry said that the company intends to build dedicated orthopaedic facilities in Tier II cities across the nation over the following three years with an investment of about Rs 100 crore.
The healthcare company has started operating an orthopaedic centre in Agra. The company now manages a 230-bed hospital in Dwarka and has expanded into Uzbekistan last year after purchasing a hospital in Tashkent.
Over the next three years, it now intends to build about ten facilities in a variety of locations, including Meerut, Panchkula, Panipat, and Bahadurgarh.
“There are facilities that exist in big cities which can take care of the specialised jobs in the orthopaedic area. With these new centres which we plan to set up, we want to deliver the same kind of healthcare in smaller cities as well,” Chaudhry told PTI in an interaction.
The healthcare provider plans to set up the facilities using multiple arrangements including partnerships in order to sustain an asset light model, he said.
