AIG Hospitals to Invest ₹2,000 Crore in Visakhapatnam
AIG Hospitals Vizag is setting up a major multi-speciality healthcare and research facility at Yendada in Visakhapatnam. The Hyderabad-based hospital network plans to invest Rs 2,000 crore over the next five years. Consequently, this large project will establish an integrated medical hub spanning over 11.5 acres. Andhra Pradesh IT and Education Minister Nara Lokesh laid the foundation stone for the ambitious campus.
Phased Infrastructure and Clinical Capabilities
The healthcare campus will eventually offer a 1,000-bed capacity to serve patients across Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Furthermore, the facility can handle nearly 5,000 outpatient consultations every day. In addition, the project aims to reduce the necessity for local patients to travel to Hyderabad for specialized treatments.
The construction will occur in two distinct phases. Initially, the team will develop Towers A and B with 650 beds by October 2028. Subsequently, the group will construct Tower C with an additional 350 beds within the next two years.
Academic Hub and Phase-Wise Development of AIG Hospitals Vizag
The institution will deliver care across more than 50 medical specialities through eight dedicated Centres of Excellence. In addition, the hospital will include a comprehensive mother-and-child care unit. Therefore, clinicians can access cutting-edge infrastructure for complex multidisciplinary interventions.
Beyond clinical services, the organisation is building a modern nursing college on 2.5 acres. Moreover, the integrated campus will feature a paramedical training centre, a clinical research laboratory, and an artificial intelligence centre. The campus also incorporates a 500-seat auditorium to conduct ongoing continuing medical education programmes.
