The 2,400-bed Amrita Hospital spread across 133 acres in Faridabad, will begin its operations in August 2022. This would be the second large-scale Amrita Hospital in India after the iconic 1,200-bed Amrita Hospital in Kochi, Kerala, which was established 25 years ago by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.

The sprawling facility at Sector 88, Faridabad, will have a total built-up area of 1 crore sq ft, including a 14-floor-high tower that will encompass the key medical facilities and patient areas. The hospital will become operational in stages, with 500 beds opening in August this year. In two years, this number will rise to 750 beds, and further to 1,000 beds in five years. When fully operational, the hospital will have a staff of 10,000 people, including 800 + doctors.

Training of medical students and doctors will be a strong focus area. The hospital will have state-of-the-art robotics, haptic, surgical-medical simulation centre spread across four floors and a 1.5 lakh sq. ft area. The facility will also host a medical college and the country’s biggest allied health sciences campus.

The hospital would be one of India’s largest green-building healthcare projects with a low carbon footprint. It is an end-to-end paperless facility, with zero waste discharge. There is also a helipad on the campus for swift transport of patients and a 498-room guest house where attendants accompanying the patients can stay.
