KOCHI: The Mata Amritanandamayi Math will soon be starting operations of their 2,400-bedded Amrita Hospital, the biggest private sector hospital in India spread across 133 acres, in Faridabad.
The operations will commence in August this year. This would be the second large-scale Amrita Hospital in India after the 1,200-bed Amrita Hospital in Kerala's Kochi that was established 25 years ago by the Math.
The sprawling facility at Sector 88, Faridabad, will have a total built-up area of 1 crore sq. ft., including a 14-floor-high tower that will encompass the key medical facilities and patient areas. The 81 specialties at the hospital will include eight centers of excellence, such as oncology, cardiac sciences, neurosciences, gastro-sciences, renal sciences, bone diseases & trauma, transplants, and mother & child.
The hospital will become operational in stages, with 500 beds opening in August this year. In two years, this number will rise to 750 beds, and further to 1,000 beds in next five years. When fully operational, the hospital will have a staff of 10,000 people, including over 800 doctors.
