Shimla: On an expansion mode Fortis Healthcare has announced setting up of a 100 bedded green filed hospital in Kangra district. The hospital proposed in Kangra would have an inbuilt provision of expanding it to a 200 bedded hospital, a Fortis spokesman stated.
Besides this hospital, the healthcare company also intends to set up a 200 bedded hospital in Ludhiana.
These hospitals are being set up under the “asset light model†(land and building will be taken on lease) and would lead to improved capital efficiency at Fortis. Expansions into newer geographies are in line with the company’s plan to improve accessibility to affordable quality healthcare in vibrant markets which are healthcare deficient, the company spokesman said.
The Fortis Hospital at Kangra was being started with a local associate would be the healthcare companys first foray into Himachal Pradesh. The hospital would provide full-fledged medical facility offering specialized services including a 24 hour Emergency.
The Kangra hospital is targeted to become operation in the current year. Speaking on the occasion, GS Bali, the local associate at Kangra said “I am very happy that Fortis has decided to set up a super specialty Hospital in Kangra at our request. The Hospital would provide much needed respite to the people of Himachal Pradesh.
Fortis has developed a cost effective standardized model to bring to smaller cities and this will be implemented in both the hospitals.
Incorporated in 1996, Fortis Healthcare Limited opened its first hospital in Mohali in 2001. Recently the company acquired 10 Wockhardt Hospitals and now has a presence in 16 cities across 11 states including the metros of Bengaluru, Mumbai and Kolkatta.
Earlier acquisitions include 5 Escorts Hospitals in 2005, and recently took over operation and management of SL Raheja Hospital in Mumbai. Fortis is now a network of 46 hospitals with the capacity to increase inpatient beds to 6700 beds.

i am listining about fortis hospital is comming soon in himanchal. please give me sataus about it.
Government’s poor administration will surely bring Fortis Health Care Hospital…of course leaders too want it..they want government hospitals to fail utterly so that new draft for 5 star Hospitals is cleared ..for getting party funds..for getting hefty donations for next elections.. 25 paise se 2 rupaye patient slip increase karne par toofan khada kar diya tha…ab to seedha 250 Rs kee parchi aane wali hai..
Along with Fortis Hospitals ..Government should also bring Appolo Circus in Himachal…Where all leaders and politicians should be registered to entertain public…infact they are sophisticated Jokers who play upon public sentiments in a very decent white manner !
This is great !!
While, I understand that the cost of healthcare through such private entities would be high, but this would be part of the price, himachalis ought to pay for not holding their elected officials to their duties, term after term.
I feel for the patients and their families, who have had to travel as far as PGI or others in Chandigarh or IGMC Shimla for treatment, or who have lost someone to medical emergencies during such transit.
Local health service options such as this (while the degradation of HP Govt-run public health and emergency services continues), would help save lives, I hope.
I learnt, no more than a couple of days ago, that Tanda Medical also is now adopting a policy of not providing free medicines to the poor.
@Rajneesh – regarding your Apollo circus comment, these leaders have been running a de-facto circus, for the past many years, and yet they fail to perform. Get in line, if you expect these leaders to do the job, that they have been elected (read: hired) to do.
