“This new facility is a testament to our continued efforts to be a one-stop healthcare hub, offering a wide array of treatments, reaffirming our dedication to delivering world-class medical treatment accessible to all. As we expand our presence throughout Karnataka, our goal remains steadfast: to offer every citizen the comforting embrace of life’s healing touch.

He further noted that the hospital aims to fulfill all healthcare requirements of the community, delivering compassionate care and ensuring positive health outcomes.

Expansion Plans of SPARSH Hospital

The hospital, founded by Dr Shivraj Patil in 2006 with 120 beds and five operating rooms, over the years has grown into one of the prominent hospital chains in Bengaluru. It also has a presence outside Bengaluru in Hassan and Davangere.

The launch of the Yelahanka facility is a part of the larger expansion plan of SPARSH Hospital unveiled last year. The Group has plans to almost double capacity - touching 1400 bed capacity by 2025.

The group also plans to launch a facility in Hennur. The hospital last year also invested over INR 15 Cr in setting up three new specialities to consolidate the momentum of its expansion.

Recent Hospital Expansions in Bengaluru

Growing demand for medical facilities, increasing awareness and heightened investor activity have fuelled consolidation and expansion trends in Indian healthcare post-Covid-19 pandemic.

As a part of its larger expansion plan, Fortis Healthcare launched an 80-bed multi-speciality tertiary care hospital in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with an investment of approximately INR 6-7 cr for the upgradation of the facility.

Sakra World Hospital is also in the works to establish INR 1,000 cr Multi-Super Specialty Hospital in Bengaluru. The upcoming facility, situated in Banaswadi is being built with a substantial investment of INR 1,000 cr and is slated to accommodate 500 beds upon completion.

In January this year, Rainbow Children's Hospital too launched a 100-bed facility in the growing neighborhood of Sarjapura Road.
