A 400-bed hospital is to be set up in the centre of Varanasi by a very known care providers, Medanta Hospital. It is all-ready to strengthen its footprint in Uttar Pradesh.
Medanta has been one of the largest private multi-speciality care providers in the north and east India. And now it is setting-up a 400-bed hospital in the very centre of Varanasi.
This move has been the company’s strategy to expand Medanta’s healthcare network in the whole of Uttar Pradesh. The lease agreement for the establishment of the hospital has been approved by the Board of Directors, with Shripal Hospitality and others.
The agreement says that the infrastructure of the hospital will be taken care of by the partner according to Medanta’s specifications. While Medanta will be undertaking investments towards interior services and medical equipment. And the total investment by Medanta Hospital is estimated to be approximately Rs. 550 crores.
The upcoming hospital is about to deliver advanced clinical care by combining top-class medical knowledge and breakthrough technology. And the proposed hospital is also expected to give service to a population base of over 4 million in the city and neighboring regions.
By successfully developing its 950-bed premier hospital in Lucknow and by also recently inaugurating a 550-bed hospital in Noida, Medanta has strengthened its presence in Uttar Pradesh.
Dr. Naresh Trehan,The Chairman and Managing Director of Medanta Hospital, said, “We are pleased to announce our plans to establish a 400-bed multi-specialty hospital in the heart of Varanasi, a city of deep cultural and spiritual significance. This expansion reflects Medanta’s commitment to enhancing access to advanced healthcare in a densely populated region, while delivering high-quality, patient-centric care with compassion, in line with our philosophy, “Har Ek Jaan Anmol”.”
“The proposed facility will not only address the growing demand for tertiary care in Varanasi but will also serve as a key healthcare hub for Eastern Uttar Pradesh. With this addition, Medanta will further strengthen its presence in the State, building on the strong foundation established by our hospitals in Lucknow and Noida, and continue to serve the evolving healthcare needs of the region”
The Group CEO, Medanta Hospital, Mr. Pankaj Sahni, said that, “Varanasi represents a significantly underserved market for quality healthcare within the state. Despite its dense population, the city currently faces a gap in access to high-quality tertiary care, with a majority of existing facilities operating at a relatively smaller scale of 50–150 beds. Consequently, patients often need to travel outside the city to access advanced and complex treatments.”
“Medanta aims to address this gap by establishing a 400-bed super-specialty hospital, bringing best-in-class clinical expertise, advanced technology, and comprehensive care closer to the population it serves.”
“With an established presence in central Uttar Pradesh through our Lucknow facility and in western Uttar Pradesh through our Noida facility, the proposed hospital in Varanasi will strengthen our footprint in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Upon completion, this expansion will position Medanta among one of the largest private hospital networks in the state, with a capacity of approximately 1,900 beds.”
The proposed Varanasi project can be the next step for strengthening Medanta’s positioning in India’s most populous state and in aiming to improve access to quality healthcare for millions in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
