Aster DM Healthcare formally launched the new upgraded Quaternary Care Super-specialty healthcare facility Aster CMI Hospital at Hebbal, Bengaluru. The hospital was inaugurated by legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in the presence of Dr. Azad Moopen, chairman & managing director of Aster DM Healthcare.
With an investment outlay of around Rs. 230 crore, Aster CMI Hospital aims to provide medical care in accordance with global best practices in healthcare.
“India is a key market for us band the new facility is testament to our mission in bringing world-class medical care to India. Designed to make the patients ‘feel better to heal better’, the hospital imbibes our core philosophy ‘We’ll Treat You Well’, carrying forward our legacy of excellence with professionalism and dedication”, said Dr. Moopen.
“There are several issues that India as a country faces and access to quality healthcare is a challenge for many in the country,” he added.
Aster DM Healthcare has also extended its social initiative in association with Sachin Tendulkar to offer oncology & paediatric cardiac surgeries for deserving patients in Aster CMI along with Aster Medcity-Kochi and Aster MIMS - Calicut. An outlay of Rs. 2 crore has been earmarked for this as part of this CSR initiative for the next four years.
Tendulkar inaugurated the hospital stating that his association with healthcare runs very long because of the multiple injuries throughout his cricketing career.
In fact, I would not have been able to serve Indian cricket and chase my dreams but for the support and care of many medical professionals and physiotherapists. I also have a medical professional at home which has been my best partnership.
In May 2014, Aster DM Healthcare took over the operation and management of Cauvery Medical Center with a commitment to revamp and upgrade the hospital. From a 73 bedded primary facility, the capacity has now been augmented to 509 bedded quaternary care super-speciality hospital with dedicated Centers of Excellence in Cardiac Sciences, Neuro Sciences, Gastro Sciences, Surgery and Allied Specialties, Nephro and Uro Sciences, and Orthopaedics.
Aster CMI also has a well-designed outpatient department offering preventive, diagnostic, curative and rehabilitative services. The comprehensive services include immunisation, health screening, laboratory and radiology services and minor surgical procedures.
“Overseeing the transformation from Cauvery Medical Center to Aster CMI has been a challenging and rewarding experience. We are confident that the hospital will be the first choice for the citizens of Bengaluru for any healthcare related issues,” said Dr. Nitish Shetty, CEO, Aster CMI.
