New Delhi, August 29, 2026: Aakash Healthcare has completed nine years of operations, marking the milestone with an aggressive expansion plan to grow its bed capacity from 400 to 2,000 by the end of next year, with new facilities coming up across North India. The expansion will focus on super-speciality care, tertiary care, and orthopaedics, particularly knee replacement, alongside a continued push into medical value tourism.
The numbers tell part of the story. Over 50 lakh patients treated in the last nine years, 98,800 surgeries, and 10,000 deliveries. Add to that, a robotic knee replacement programme, and robotic surgery, and Aakash Healthcare sits in a fairly small league of hospitals in the region. A full spread of super-speciality departments and tertiary care built up over nine years in cardiac sciences, oncology, neurosciences, and orthopaedics — with knee replacement, in particular– are drawing patients from well outside Delhi and even India.
As per hospital data, patients from 55 countries have made their way here for treatment, part of why the hospital has become a genuine name in medical value tourism. Dr AashishChaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Healthcare, said, “People are not just choosing Aakash Healthcare because it is more affordable than what they would find back home. They are choosing it because the outcomes hold up too, across a wide range of procedures.”
Now, the hospital is preparing for its most ambitious chapter yet. Aakash Healthcare plans to scale up from its current 400 beds to 2,000 beds by the end of next year, with new facilities planned across Delhi, Gurugram, Mathura, and Dehradun — a deliberate push into North India, backed by partnerships with regional healthcare providers along the way. The idea is simple: no patient should have to travel hundreds of kilometres to access quality super-speciality care.
“I am looking forward to Aakash Healthcare reaching new locations and serving more communities. The next two years are going to be transformative for us,” said Dr AashishChaudhry.
As the organisation embarks on this next phase of growth, it is doubling down on making cutting-edge medical capabilities accessible to underserved populations. Aakash Healthcare believes that a patient in a Tier-2 city deserves the same standards of care, technology, and expertise as a patient in the capital, and that belief is now shaping every expansion decision Aakash Healthcare makes.
Aakash Healthcare has also established itself as a centre of excellence in clinical research. While over 25 clinical trials have been completed, 23 trials – both Indian and international are ongoing. Aakash hospital currently also offers DNB, DrNB, FNB, fellowship, paramedical, and skill enhancement programmes across multiple specialties under the Department of Academics and Clinical Research.”
Nine years in, Dr. Aashish Chaudhry said its real milestone is not the number of beds it has added, but the number of lives it has touched, and it is counting on many more in the years ahead.
