Pristyn Care looks to expand operations in South India; to target smaller towns – ET HealthWorld

New Delhi: Healthcare delivery startup Pristyn Care on Thursday said it plans to induct 300 hospitals and 100 clinics in South India by the next year end as it looks to expand operations in smaller towns in the region. The expansion will take the total number of its network hospitals to 500 and clinics to 150.

Currently, the company has surgical centres in tier I and tier II cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Madurai, Coimbatore, Kozhikode, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam.

The company currently has presence in over 12 surgical categories such as general surgery, ophthalmology, ENT, urology and gynaecology, and plans to expand into dental care.

“We are committed to foray deeper into the healthcare ecosystem and strengthen our presence across the country. Currently, we have 200 partner hospitals and 50-plus clinics across South India. With this expansion, we plan to expand our reach to tier 2 and 3 towns,” Pristyn Care co-founder Harsimarbir Singh said in a statement.

The startup has recently made a foray into primary healthcare with the acquisition of Ratan Tata-backed health-tech platform Lybrate.

It currently runs around 800 surgical centres and has treated over one lakh patients so far, it stated.
