An addition of 500 beds with the launch of a new hospital in Jammu and a paediatrics hospital in Mumbai are part of Bengaluru-based Narayana Hrudayalaya’s expansionplans in 2016-17.
Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, vice-chairman, managing director and Group chief executive officer,Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospitals, said, “Almost 60 per cent of the population is in the mass market of affordable health care. We would target the health care schemes of the state governments to address this market. Our focus will always be the working class.” The health care service provider, which was recently listed in BSE, would look at opening a 250-bed hospital at the shrine complex in Vaishno Devi, Jammu, by June and a 250-bed children’s hospital in Mumbai.
