Aster DM Healthcare, one of the largest integrated healthcare providers in India, will be launching the largest Women & Children Hospital in Hyderabad. This 300-bed state-of-the-art facility will cater to the unique healthcare needs of children and women of all ages.
The hospital, which will be the second such facility of the group apart from the one in Bangalore, will offer specialized services in obstetrics, comprehensive gynecological care and complete neonatal & paediatric care. Aster DM Healthcare will be making an investment of around Rs. 220 crores in this facility spreading over 3 lakh sq ft. Phase 1 of the project is expected to be completed by mid- FY26, and the hospital will be fully functional by the last quarter of 2026.
The Aster Women & Children Hospital will offer specialized medical services such as obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, neonatal care, and reproductive health. It will feature 100 critical care beds and 10 modular operating theatres, along with luxury birthing suites. To provide advanced maternal and pediatric care, the hospital will incorporate high-end technology for specialty services, including a Cath lab, CT, MRI, ECMO, IVUS, EBUS, and ERCP. Additionally, it will offer 24/7 emergency care.
Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder & Chairman, Aster DM Healthcare said, “Aster Women & Children Hospital Hyderabad will set new benchmarks in obstetric and pediatric healthcare, offering a wide array of super-specialty services. The new hospital is in line with the group’s mission and commitment to delivering quality and affordable healthcare to the large population of not only Hyderabad but all of South India. The focus on the unique healthcare needs of the children and women underscores our dedication to addressing the healthcare needs. The hospital will offer cutting edge multidisciplinary women and child care that will be steered by highly skilled medical professionals dedicated to providing world-class care and highest safety standards.”
Aster DM Healthcare already has a presence in Hyderabad with Aster Prime Hospital, a 204-bed multi-specialty hospital situated in the strategic location of Ameerpet at Hyderabad.
The company plans to add ~2000 beds by FY27 taking the total bed tally in India to 6800+ through the organic route and will further look for expansion through the inorganic route as well to achieve its aim of becoming the top 3 integrated healthcare providers in India along with a strong presence of labs and pharmacies in the geographies that Aster has a presence in. The plan encompasses a mix of brownfield and greenfield projects, including the upcoming Aster Capital in Trivandrum, and Aster MIMS Kasargod and adding bed capacity to the existing hospitals. The company will also be eyeing potential markets such as Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The capital allocation for this expansion is in the range of Rs. 1200 crore.
