For me, Aster Medcity is the fulfillment of a dream nurtured deep in my heart, ever since I visited the Mayo Clinic ten years ago - the dream to create a state-of-the-art healthcare destination, which, one day, will become the preferred destination for advanced medical care for patients from across the world. With such a lofty goal, Aster Medcity had to be conceptualised differently from existing hospitals in India - which is why this facility was designed as a comprehensive medical township, which will have a Core Hospital and many Centers of Excellence (CoEs). With academics, an outstanding range of support services and accommodation thrown in for a large population who will become part of this environment over an extended period of time, Aster Medcity will evolve to be a unique, one-of-its-kind medical ecosystem.
