Mumbai, July 1 (IANS) President Pratibha Patil will Sunday inaugurate SevenHills Hospital, a 1,500 bed facility that claimes to be Asia’s largest private multi-speciality medicare institution, a senior official said Thursday.
The SevenHills Hospital, has been built at a cost of nearly Rs.3.5 billion and is promoted by eminent doctor from Vishakhpatnam, Jitendra Das Maganti. The hospital has come up on a lush green 35-acre campus in the heart of Mumbai suburb at Powari in Andheri east.
Promising “affordable” medical facilities, Maganti said that 300 beds would be reserved for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) patients who can avail services at rates on par with the civic hospitals.
“In the first phase, 300 beds shall be operational now, remaining 1,200 would be commissioned by the year-end,” Maganti said.
SevenHills will offer 120 out-patient department chambers for consultants, 36 modular operation theatres and 24 dialysis units, he said.
There is an underground parking facility for 1,500 vehicles.
“Our vision is to make affordable and good quality healthcare accessible for all patients. Hence, we call our Mumbai facility a ‘HealthCity’ and not just a hospital,” said Maganti, who is the chairman and managing director of SevenHills Hospital.
