Topic: Strategic funding for hospitals-Fuelling growth

Key Highlights:
[1] High CAPEX, operational costs, regulatory hurdles, and competition are some of the key challenges in private hospital funding.

[2] Hospitals should opt for debt funding when they have a stable cash flow to meet repayment obligations. The goal is to retain full ownership and control, with funding typically required for a specific short-to-medium-term project.

[3] Private equity and venture capital are suitable options when a hospital is in a high-growth phase and requires significant capital for expansion.
