To add 370 new beds in Phase I, taking the capacity to 600 beds
Saket City Hospital has announced an investment of Rs 300 crores towards expansion. The hospital will add a new tower, consisting of 370 new beds, taking the total capacity of the hospital to 600 beds. For this expansion, Saket City Hospital will be recruiting approximately 600 physicians, 1000 nurses, 300 paramedics and 500 support staff. The hospital has appointed real estate firm – Jones Lang LaSalle as consultancy partner to manage the design and construction of the new tower, which is targeted to be completed by end of 2017. The new block will be spread over three lakh square feet, with 10 floors and three basements, and will be a state-of-the-art ‘green’ facility, which will set new standards, informs a company release.
Dr BK Modi, Chairman, Saket City Hospital, said, “In a relatively short span of time, Saket City Hospital has managed to win the confidence of lakhs of customers, offering world class healthcare facilities, delivered to patients with our vision of keeping ‘You First’. With 600 beds, Saket City Hospital will become largest private full-service hospital in South Delhi. The new tower at Saket City hospital will offer complete transplant facilities ranging from bone marrow, heart, kidney, pancreas and liver transplantation. It will also have a full-fledged oncology department which will offer treatment for all types of cancers.”
Dr Modi said, “I firmly believe a much awaited renaissance strikes us today as we long for a healthier future. We have been witness to an era of suppressive medicine based on a symptom based approach to cure diseases, while ignoring preventive medicine. Aspiring for a meaningful, successful, healthy and long life demands incorporation of ‘preventive’ rather than curative strategies which converge to aim for a ‘optimally’ healthy , happy and better way of living that is Smart living.”
“Smart Living constitutes dynamic scientific steps to achieve health, wellness and happiness coupled with mindfulness, holistic medicine and regenerative medicine leveraging the best of medical technology, in an environment that reveres innovation and employing best-in-class professionals. The unique powerful combination of mindfulness and science makes it an apostle of health. Smart Living will support R&D in a big way where latest technologies like stem cell therapy, genomic sequencing, natural medicine, nutrigenomics, metabolomics and likes will be researched in an Indian context,” he concluded.
