Management Comment

Commenting on the performance, Dr. Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and Group CEO, Narayana Hrudayalaya Limited, said “The results of the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 are broadly in line with our expectations, barring that of our international venture, HCCI whose performance was hit by transient operational issues. With the recent commissioning of our Gurugram facility, we now have 3 new super-specialty hospitals across the critical markets of Delhi NCR and Mumbai and have thus entered into a phase of consolidation of Indian operations. With newer centres gaining traction in terms of ramp-up in patients’ footfalls, we continue to be excited about our emerging northern and western clusters and thus evolve as a truly pan-India healthcare provider. 

On the clinical front, we remain committed to creating regional Centres of Excellences’ by focusing on advanced quaternary care and thus continue to invest in state-of-the-art medical technology across niche specialties such as Oncology and Cardiac Sciences through attractive financing solutions. Overall, we remain confident about the prospects of Indian healthcare ecosystem and our ability to deliver quality affordable solution to all sections of the society.”
