More than the combination of two healthcare networks, it is the convergence of shared values, clinical excellence, deep medical expertise and an unwavering commitment to patient care. Together, we are creating an institution that is stronger, more resilient and better positioned to address the evolving healthcare needs of India.”
Varun Khanna, Managing Director and Group CEO, Aster DM Quality Care said, “Aster Quality Care brings together highly complementary institutions, strong clinical ecosystems and teams united by a shared ambition to strengthen healthcare delivery in India. At Aster Quality Care patients and their families will be at the centre of every decision, with digitally enabled solutions and a strong bias for high-quality clinical outcomes.”

We are committed to ensuring that patients, clinicians, employees and partners experience stability and consistency as we bring together systems, capabilities and best practices across the combined network.
With a network of 39 hospitals across 28 cities and more than 10,600 beds, Aster DM Quality Care plans to expand the availability of specialist services, advanced treatments, and medical technologies in tier 2 and tier 3 cities, including Nagpur, Aurangabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Bhubaneswar, Raipur, Nagercoil, Kolhapur, Kannur, Kasaragod, and Kottakkal. The expansion is expected to improve access to complex healthcare services closer to patients' homes, potentially reducing the need to travel to metropolitan centres for treatment. |
