Max Healthcare today said it is in the process of investing nearly Rs 540 crore to open four new hospitals in North India by September this year.
"Max Healthcare will be opening four new hospitals with an average bed capacity of 250-300 with an average bed cost of nearly 45 lakh," Max healthcare CEO and Managing Director Pervez Ahmed told PTI.
The new hospitals, which will be multi-speciality, would come up at Shalimar Bagh in Delhi, Bhatinda and Mohali in Punjab and Dehradun.
These would focus on heart diseases, trauma and cancer, he said, adding the hospitals at Bhatinda and Mohali would be under a public-private partnership mode with the Punjab government.
Max Healthcare, which presently runs six hospitals and two centres, is also planning to enter into medical education in near future.
"We are also planning to foray into medical education space but that would be three years from now," Ahmed said.
One of the prominent hospital chains in the country, Max Healthcare at present has a capacity of over 930 beds.
