First phase to begin with ₹100 crore; company aims to expand access to quality healthcare for 500,000 people by 2030
Pacific OneHealth has announced plans to invest ₹300 crore to develop a network of micro hospitals across North, Central, East and North-East India. The initiative is designed to bridge healthcare access gaps in underserved regions and strengthen regional care delivery systems.
The company will begin the rollout with an initial investment of ₹100 crore in the first phase. Once fully operational, the network is expected to serve nearly half a million people by 2030.
Pacific OneHealth said the micro hospital model will operate between neighbourhood clinics and large tertiary hospitals, providing specialised services while maintaining a smaller infrastructure footprint. These facilities will offer services such as 24×7 emergency care, minimally invasive surgeries, joint replacement procedures, advanced diagnostics, short-stay admissions, day-care surgeries, chronic disease management, and ICU and critical care support.
The hospitals will also be integrated with referral pathways and broader healthcare systems to ensure continuity of care.
Saket Bansal said the initiative addresses growing pressures on India’s healthcare infrastructure.
“India is at an inflection point in healthcare delivery. Rising chronic disease and escalating treatment costs are placing increasing pressure on tertiary hospitals. Our ₹300 crore investment is aimed at building a financially sustainable micro hospital network that brings quality healthcare closer to patients, reduces unnecessary referrals, and improves continuity of care without compromising outcomes,” he said.
Pacific OneHealth said each micro hospital will typically have 15–75 beds and function as a speciality care hub. The model is intended to deliver a higher level of care than standalone clinics while avoiding the scale and operational complexity of large hospital chains. The facilities will rely on efficient infrastructure planning, specialised staffing and digital workflows to support coordinated patient care.
Swadeep Srivastava said the initiative reflects a broader transformation in how healthcare services are delivered in India.
“Our goal is to redesign healthcare as a connected journey rather than a set of isolated interventions. By combining micro hospitals with home healthcare, eldercare services and specialised care pathways, we aim to create an integrated ecosystem that supports prevention, chronic disease management and recovery,” he said.
The planned ecosystem will also include an omnichannel healthcare platform offering wellness services, corporate health programmes, community outreach initiatives and preventive care pathways. These services are intended to strengthen patient engagement beyond hospital visits.
Healthcare experts note that such models are gaining attention as healthcare systems increasingly focus on long-term management of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders and metabolic conditions.
Dr Srivastava added that the micro hospital model is designed to balance clinical capability with financial sustainability.
“By integrating speciality and super-speciality services with advanced diagnostics, medical ICUs and centralised laboratory support, the platform can deliver high-quality care while maintaining capital efficiency, faster breakeven timelines and scalable growth across urban clusters,” he said.
Pacific OneHealth stated that the first micro hospitals will be launched in urban and peri-urban locations. The expansion will take place in phases based on regional healthcare demand and infrastructure readiness.
