It has been a long-cherished dream of Aster DM Healthcare to be in the capital city to make quality healthcare at an affordable cost accessible to the population. There were large number of patients who were visiting our Aster Medcity at Kochi — and we thought it is our duty to bring the services to their doorsteps. This will increase our footprint not only in Kerala but across India with over 4500 beds in the country. We hope that the Aster Capital Hospital will become a destination for the highest quality healthcare in the country attracting medical professionals and patients to the state from abroad providing facilities at par with global standards.”

Besides being the home state of the group, Kerala is also looked upon as the preferred destination by globally diverse patients with uncommon and challenging medical complaints to resolve. Acutely aware of the need to meet and surpass global standards of healthcare, we have invested the maximum extent of our resources and efforts to ensure the desired outcomes. In terms of equipment and state-of-the-art technology, we have employed every parameter of excellence in diagnostic and therapeutic care.”
