Aster Medcity Expands with New Tower and Additional 100 Beds to Meet Growing Healthcare Demands
The healthcare sector in Kerala, Aster Medcity has inaugurated its fourth tower, a state-of-the-art facility spanning 1 lakh square feet and adding 100 beds to meet the growing demand for healthcare services in the region. This expansion coincides with the hospital’s 10th anniversary celebrations, further solidifying its role in enhancing the state’s medical infrastructure and reputation.
The new tower at Aster Medcity is a comprehensive facility designed to provide advanced medical care. It includes the Aster Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Aster Aesthetics, and Aster Dermatology, housing 25 consultation rooms dedicated to cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. The hospital’s expansion underscores its commitment to catering to the diverse and increasing healthcare needs of both local and international patients. The inauguration ceremony was graced by Kerala’s State Industries Minister, P. Rajeeve, who acknowledged the state’s growing prominence as a hub for medical tourism. He credited the success of public-private sector partnerships, with Aster Medcity playing a pivotal role in elevating Kerala’s healthcare infrastructure to world-class standards.
In a heartwarming gesture, Manoj M.G, a former patient who underwent a wrist replantation surgery at Aster Medcity, had the honour of inaugurating the renovated Aster Aesthetics department. Manoj’s successful surgery was performed by the hospital’s expert Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic team after his wrist was severed in a traumatic accident. His involvement in the event highlights the hospital’s focus on not just advanced medical procedures, but also on the holistic recovery and well-being of its patients. Azad Moopen, the Founder and Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, emphasised the hospital’s unwavering commitment to delivering accessible, affordable, and high-quality healthcare. He also noted the importance of adapting to rapid advancements in medical innovation, ensuring that Aster Medcity remains at the forefront of cutting-edge medical technologies and services. One of the major highlights of Aster Medcity’s growth is the introduction of its health initiative “Take Charge,” which encourages the community to adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce their dependency on hospital care.
This initiative is aligned with the hospital’s long-term vision of fostering preventative healthcare while continuing to provide top-notch medical services when needed. Since its establishment, Aster Medcity has been a key player in enhancing Kerala’s medical tourism industry. Its 40-acre waterfront campus has attracted patients from across the globe, drawn not only by the hospital’s state-of-the-art facilities but also by its focus on high-precision medical technologies. Aster Medcity is also known for introducing robotic surgery to the region, becoming the first facility in Kerala to offer high-precision robotic surgeries using the da Vinci system. The hospital has performed over 5,000 robotic-assisted surgeries through its Aster Minimal Access Robotic Surgery (MARS) programme, making it a leader in minimally invasive surgery. The addition of the new tower and expanded services is a testament to Aster Medcity’s ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare accessibility in Kerala, while also contributing significantly to the region’s reputation as a global medical tourism destination. With its 10th anniversary marking a decade of progress, Aster Medcity is well-poised to continue leading the charge in healthcare innovation and patient care in the years to come.
