Kattankulathur near Chennai is an important place and this is now making news. Software development company Zoho is building a 250 bedded hospital near Kattankulathur and by this, the company would be diversifying its business to the hospital sector also.
The company has laid the foundation for the construction of the hospital under Sugah Healthcorp and now works are going on at a steady pace. The hospital project is expected to be commissioned in the year 2021.
As per the Medical Director of Zoho Corp, Dr. Balachander Govindarajan who is a cardiologist, it was clear that this upcoming 250 bedded hospital would be a community hospital and it would combine analog (knowledge, skills, etc) with digital tools to provide treatment at affordable rates.
He mentioned that it would be ``anywhere`` hospital. He spoke about how now healthcare is knocking the doors of telemedicine as it has become a genome by itself. Apart from the community, this upcoming hospital would also cater to the employees of Zoho.
For the completion of the hospital project, 12 to 16 months would be taken. For planning and quality accreditation like NABH, Acme Consulting`s help would be used by Zoho Corporation.
As an initial budget, a number of Rs 70 crores have been sanctioned and the hospital would come upon a 2.6 lakh sq ft built-up area and every bed would be allotted 50 sq ft with self-contained facilities. For integrated healthcare delivery, technology would be incorporated.
