Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospitals has drawn up plans to more than double its pan-India and global footprint to 250 hospitals over the next three years, according to said Dr. Amar Agarwal, Chairman, Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospitals. He added that the company planned to invest ₹1,000 crore to help fund these plans.
“Currently, we have 100 centres in India. Today, we have literally hit a century with the acquisition of Mumbai-based Aditya Jyot Eye hospital in an all-cash deal,” said Dr. Agarwal.
The eye hospital chain has 86 hospitals in India and 14 in South Africa, he said. Over the next three years, it would be more than doubled to over 200 hospitals in India and 30-40 hospitals in South Africa. Besides, it would also set up 500 outreach centres in tier 2 and tier 3 cities in India.
