In order to expand presence in Tier II and Tier III cities of northern India and cater to the marginalised sector of the society, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals has collaborated Kulwanti Hospital to establish and operate a 70 bed super-specialty hospital in Kanpur.

The new facility is planning to upgrade the existing Kulwanti Hospital in Kanpur by adding secondary and tertiary care facilities such as as state-of-the art MRI, CT and Cath lab services. The new facility is called Ujala Cygnus Kulwanti Hospital. The collaboration marks the entry of the Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals in Kanpur.

“In Ujala Kulwanti Hospital, Kanpur, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals will bring its healthcare expertise and manage the day to day operations. This move will help us improve the availability of secondary and tertiary care to the large population in Kanpur and adjoining areas,” said Dr Shuchin Bajaj, Founder & Director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals.

Ujala Cygnus Kulwanti Hospital has already started operations of general specialties and has plan to invest further to build 40 more beds in existing set up of facility by the next financial year in order to meet the medical needs of underserved population in Kanpur. Key clinical programmes include general surgery, orthopaedics, paediatrics, gynaecology, IVF, internal medicine, ENT to name a few. The hospital will provide a 24*7 Emergency and Trauma Centre, ICU and NICU facilities as well as advanced Radiology and Pathology services.
