It has been a long cherished dream of Aster DM Healthcare to reside in the capital city to provide quality healthcare at affordable cost to the population. There were a large number of patients who were visiting our Aster Medcity in Kochi – and we thought it was our duty to deliver services at their doorstep. This will increase our footprint not only in Kerala but across India and will have more than 4500 beds in the country. We are hopeful that Aster Capital Hospital will become a destination for the highest quality healthcare in the country, attracting medical professionals and patients from abroad to provide facilities at global standards in the state.”
