Fortis Healthcare, India’s second-largest healthcare service provider, plans to come up with a new model of healthcare delivery for tier-II and-III towns. It intends to set up smaller hospitals with a capacity for up to 200 beds, which will provide treatment at nearly 50% less cost than in the present facilities. To ensure viability of the model, Fortis is also looking at halving the investment per bed for such hospitals. For starters, the company will set up two such facilities, one each in the North and the West, by 2011-12
“There’s a huge need to develop quality hospitals for the masses in the hinterland. In fact, India can accommodate hundreds of such hospitals. We have been working on this model for the past one year. It is still in the drawing board stage, and the first two pilot facilities will be operational in two years,” said Fortis Healthcare MD Shivinder M Singh. Fortis is looking at ways to cut down its investment of Rs 60-65 lakh per bed to Rs 30-35 lakh per bed for these hospitals. “These facilities will have a minimum of 100 beds. They will be multi-specialty hospitals, but will offer only basic treatment options across the board,” he said.
What is your thoughts on this plan from Fortis? Will it be effective?
