Founded in 2000 by Dr Shetty, the group now operates the third largest hospital chain in the country spanning 17 cities.
The hospital chain also operates telemedicine centres where it offers free consultancy by top doctors to remote health centres outside the main hospitals. Its network spans across 150 telemedicine centres, including 50 in Africa.
Narayana Hrudayalaya has more than 7,500 beds in 29 hospitals, spreading across 17 cities that fetch around Rs 800 crore worth of revenue. Its profit margins are as thin as 8%. The hospital treats more than 2,00,000 in-patients and around 1.5 million out-patients annually.
The ET report further reads, the reason for its thin margins is because of the low-cost model the company follows: for instance, it charges somewhere between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 for a heart surgery which is way cheaper than other private hospitals. While the cost of setting up a bed in Narayana Health is around Rs 17.5 lakh, against Rs 1 crore at its peers.
