The Apollo Hospitals Group plans to set up 11 hospitals by the next financial
year 2010-11 at an investment of Rs 1,800 crore.
Besides, the group is mulling to upgrade 20 existing hospitals with advance
equipment and technology. This apart, plans are afoot to upgrade four of its
nine oncology divisions to super specialty cancer hospitals.
The group is likely to add 1,500 beds in the next fiscal. Currently, it has
bed strength of 8,800 which will likely to cross 9,000 soon.
Apollo is likely to launch three new super-specialty cancer hospitals. The
hospital with Novalis TX, the latest technology in treatment of cancer, is to be
opened on 20 March 2010 at Secunderabad. The 100-bed super specialty hospital
has been set up with an investment of Rs 100 crore. Similar facilities are
