Medanta – Global Health Limited, one of India’s largest private multi-specialty tertiary healthcare providers, is expanding its footprint in the Northeast with a state-of-the-art, 400+ bed hospital in Guwahati. The facility will come up at Industrial Estate, Sarusajai along NH-27, backed by an investment of approximately ₹500 crore. Equipped to deliver tertiary and quaternary care, the hospital will offer super-specialities including comprehensive transplant programs, advanced cardiology and cardiac surgery, oncology, neurology, robotics, orthopaedics, gastro-sciences, pulmonology, endocrinology and critical care.
Founded by Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri, and Dr. B.C. Roy Awardee Dr. Naresh Trehan, Medanta operates six hospitals across Gurgaon, Indore, Ranchi, Lucknow, Patna and Noida with 3,300+ beds. The group is also expanding in Mumbai and Delhi with over 2,000 planned beds.
Guwahati has rapidly emerged as the medical gateway of the Northeast, catering to patients from Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and even neighbouring countries. With rising demand for advanced procedures and improving healthcare infrastructure, Medanta’s entry is expected to further strengthen the city’s position as a premium medical destination, supporting medical tourism and increasing specialised care accessibility. “Quality healthcare should be a right, not a privilege,” Dr. Trehan said, calling the project a milestone for the underserved Northeast. The facility is expected to generate 5,000–7,000 direct and indirect jobs, bolstering regional socio-economic growth.
