Apollo plans new hospitals in Bangladesh, Kolkata.

The Apollo Hospital Group is planning to expand its operations in Bangladesh and Kolkata in the next few years, a top official of the city facility said on Sunday.

'We already have a hospital in Dhaka.

'We have plans to have one more hospital in Chittagong,' said Rupali Basu, Apollo Hospital President and CEO (Eastern Region).

However, it is yet to be decided whether it would be through a tie-up or through some other mechanism.

This is to cater to an increasing number of patients from Bangladesh in the Kolkata facility, Basu told reporters.

The group is also contemplating a 200-bed hospital in south Kolkata, she said. It now has a 510-bed unit in the northern part of the city.

'Besides, we also have plans to set up a new facility in the North-East region, particularly Assam,' Basu said.
