The facility will provide tertiary and quaternary care at Kovilambakam
Aster DM Healthcare, a leading healthcare service provider in India and in GCC with presence in nine countries, has entered into an agreement with Subramanya Constructions & Development Company (SCDC), a real estate developer, to construct a new hospital in Chennai. This 500 bedded multi-specialty hospital is expected to be commissioned in 2020. The hospital will provide advanced healthcare services to the residents of Tamil Nadu and customers from other states in India as well as overseas. The new facility is in line with Aster DM’s strategy of strengthening its presence in India.
Commenting on the expansion into the Chennai healthcare market, Dr Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman and MD of Aster DM Healthcare, said, “Looking at the demand supply gap, there is a requirement for more hospitals in India in general and in Chennai in particular. With our presence in Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra and Maharashtra, we believe that our presence in Tamil Nadu would benefit patients in the country. We hope to provide advanced tertiary and quaternary medical care of the highest quality at affordable cost to the population of Tamil Nadu. We also see India as a key market for Aster DM Healthcare in future.”
Dr Harish Pillai, CEO – Aster Hospitals & Clinics (India) said that, “With our current diversified asset portfolios in Southern and Western India, Tamil Nadu was the only State without our presence. This new flagship hospital due to be commissioned in 2020 will offer state-of-the-art quaternary care services to the people of Tamil Nadu and fulfil the current gap within our network.”
Speaking on the occasion, Nagesh Balasubramanyam, Director of SCDC said, “As a group we have ensured the creation of quality assets and we look forward to working with Aster DM Healthcare to create a built-to-suit multi-specialty hospital at Kovilambakam, where we are in possession of the land.”
