We are now looking to expand our services further in North India with this new 500-bed hospital in Ludhiana. I am especially glad to bring tertiary care to the people of Punjab, ensuring they receive advanced medical treatment close to home.”

Paras Health focuses on offering specialised medical care in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities while maintaining affordability.
