Pacific OneHealth commits ₹300 crore to develop micro hospital network in India

Pacific OneHealth announced a committed investment of ₹300 crore to establish a network of micro hospitals across North, Central, East and North-East India. The company stated that the initiative aims to address gaps in healthcare delivery. The first phase will begin with an investment of ₹100 crore, and the network is expected to reach about half a million people by 2030.

According to the company, the micro hospital model will operate between neighbourhood clinics and tertiary hospitals. The facilities will provide services including 24×7 emergency care, minimally invasive surgeries, joint replacement procedures, diagnostics, short-stay admissions, day-care surgeries, chronic disease management, and ICU and critical care services. The facilities will also operate with referral pathways and integration with other healthcare systems.

Saket Bansal said, “India is at an inflection point in healthcare delivery. With chronic disease rising and costs escalating, the strain on tertiary hospitals underlines the need for a right-sized solution that puts patients at the centre. Through this ₹300 crore investment, we are building a financially sustainable micro hospital network that brings quality care closer to patients, reduces avoidable referrals, and strengthens continuity of care—without compromising on outcomes.”

Pacific OneHealth stated that the micro hospitals will typically operate with 15–75 beds and function as speciality care hubs. The model is designed to deliver a level of care higher than standalone clinics while operating without the infrastructure scale of large hospital chains. According to the company, the model focuses on infrastructure planning, staffing and digital workflows to support care delivery and coordination.

Swadeep Srivastava said the initiative reflects a shift in healthcare delivery in India. “Our mission is to reimagine healthcare as a coordinated journey rather than a series of isolated interventions. By combining micro hospitals with home healthcare, eldercare, and specialised care pathways, we aim to create a connected ecosystem that supports prevention, chronic care, and recovery—ultimately improving outcomes while lowering the overall burden on families and the system.”

The company stated that the initiative also includes an omnichannel healthcare system with wellness services, out-of-hospital care programmes including health camps and community programmes, corporate wellness services and preventive care pathways. The model will focus on patient engagement beyond hospital visits.

According to industry experts, such models are being considered as healthcare systems address non-communicable diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders and metabolic conditions, which require monitoring and care over time.

Dr Srivastava added, “From an investment perspective, this model combines speciality and super-speciality care with integrated critical care and medical ICUs—supported by high-end diagnostics, including CT imaging and a centralised laboratory network. The result is an end-to-end care platform that delivers capital efficiency, faster breakeven timelines, and scalable performance across urban clusters, while remaining firmly focused on patient outcomes.”

Pacific OneHealth stated that the first set of micro hospitals will be commissioned in urban and peri-urban locations. The rollout will take place in phases based on regional healthcare demand and infrastructure readiness.
