Paras Healthcare has appointed Dr Santy Sajan as their new Group Chief Operating Officer (GCOO). She has joined the senior executive team and takes responsibility for establishing and delivering long-term strategic growth plans for the organisation.
Dr Santy’s journey from being a bedside nurse to the Group COO is an inspiration to many. In the year 2006, she became the Chief of Nursing at Columbia Asia Hospital but her thirst to excel always has remained strong, and that thirst led her to become the unit head of the same hospital in 2013. She was the COO at Aster DM Healthcare in 2017 and got elevated to CEO in 2018. Before joining Paras Healthcare, Dr Santy was the COO of Apollo Hospitals, Chennai and the cluster-1 hospitals.
Dr Dharminder Nagar, Managing Director, Paras Healthcare said, “Dr Sajan play a major role at Paras Healthcare as we continue to expand and establish tertiary healthcare facilities in different parts of India. As the Group COO, she will also enhance the patient experience through meaningful physician interactions, improving the standard operating and quality processes of Paras; she will also work towards heralding the group’s digital transformation, including initiatives in the areas of cloud, artificial intelligence and machine learning”.
Dr Sajan said, “I am honored and humbled to have been selected as the Group Chief Operating Officer of Paras Healthcare and further build on Dr Dharmindar Nagar’s innovative thinking that propelled Paras Healthcare to be at the forefront and the most preferred healthcare partner in North and North-East India. I look forward to using my experience and expertise to help the Group build on its success, execute its growth plan and drive operational improvements. It is my resolve to remain fully committed to fulfilling the healthcare needs of the communities that Paras Healthcare serves, now and well into the future – bringing an unparalleled experience to the patients as the most trusted partner for healthcare. Along with our extraordinary colleagues, we are committed to creating an exceptional and inspiring place where people choose to come for their healthcare needs; where physicians choose to practice; and where team members choose to work.”
