Mumbai:
Adding new geographical
regions to its healthcare business, the Apollo Hospitals Group, India''s largest
chain of hospitals, has finally firmed up its plans for establishing a presence
in Mumbai.According to Kamath, most Mumbai hospitals are run by trusts, and hence Apollo is looking at associations as opposed to acquisitions.
The new entity, named Western Hospitals Corporation Pvt Ltd, will look after the Mumbai projects. According to VP Kamath, CEO, Apollo Hospitals, the group is using the JV route to enter Mumbai, which was the only metro city in which Apollo did not have a presence.
