"Hospitals treat patients. They wheel the sick in, patch them up and send them on their way. It’s a simple business. Of course, the intricacies are complex but the business philosophy is straightforward: The more patients you treat, the more money you make. You can take the Fortis and Apollo Hospitals route: Build large (over 300 beds) super speciality care hospitals in metros in prime non-residential areas. Or you can be like Columbia Asia and build hospitals with a 100-bed capacity providing secondary care in non-prime, non-residential areas in tier II and III cities."
