Pvt. Ltd., a knowledge consulting solutions company, announces the launch of a report on the Indian Hospital
market. The hospital industry accounts for half the healthcare sector’s revenues and is estimated to be worth USD
$25 billion in 2008. The dismal performance by the Indian government in providing healthcare infrastructure has
created tremendous opportunities in the private sector. The huge pent up demand for quality healthcare and
increase in healthcare spending in the long-term are fundamentally strong drivers in this market.
The report begins with an overview on the industry including market size, growth, and key segments. An analysis of
drivers explains factors contributing to the huge potential based on healthcare consumption, increasing instances of
lifestyle-related diseases, medical tourism, and growing health insurance. The key challenges identified include
significant capital requirements and a shortage of medical professionals. Major private players in the industry are
also identified as well as new domestic and international entrants in the market.

Indian Affairs, and Ahmed bin Suleiman Al Maimani, Under-secretary at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in

The multi-discipline state-of-the-art facility, which currently has 40 beds, will be expanded to 100 beds soon,
involving a total outlay of over RO5 million, group chairman Dr Azad Moopen told a news conference.
It is Oman's second privately-run hospital and boasts a special cell for patients needing advanced tertiary care
treatments at its super speciality hospitals in India. The group currently owns seven hospitals, 24 medical centres
and 48 pharmacies in India and the UAE, Oman and Qatar, including the largest private hospital in India's Kerala
state -- the Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences, or MIMS, a 600-bed tertiary care speciality hospital located at
Calicut.
It also plans to build a healthcare city at Kochi in Kerala, to be named Medcity' for which land has already ?been
acquired.
Moopen said the expansion plans included new hospitals and clinics in India and the Gulf, notably Oman which, he
added, holds "huge potential for?our group."

establish a central management system for its hospital and medical centers chain. Acıbadem Central Management is
comprised of departments related to providing patient care and those related to providing a safe, effective, and well-
managed organization. The central management functions apply same standards to all of the branches as well as to
each department, unit or service within the organization. All hospital directors are equally supported by the central
management team in the same standard way. Through the centralized management system, the entire Acıbadem
Hospitals and medical centers accredited by Joint Commission International (International Healthcare Facility
Accreditation) and represented as a model for quality in healthcare for the region. Acıbadem Healthcare Group is
therefore the only healthcare chain which is accredited as a “system” by Joint Commission International so far.

treatments. Most of patients came from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan. Acıbadem Healthcare Group

Multinational operations of US for-profit hospital chains: trends and implications.

Abstract
The expansion of United States for-profit hospital chains into the international arena is a new and important
development. Experiences with contract management of middle eastern hospitals in the early 1970s gave the
American firms impetus to pursue ownership of health facilities in other parts of the world. US companies now
operate over 95 foreign hospitals. The reasons for this involvement include the political receptivity of the
government of the host nation; the potential for rapid growth and profits; the lack of indigenous competition; and
the ability to occupy a distinct niche within the extant health services organization. The political and ideological
implications of the growth of private medicine, particularly in the United Kingdom, in terms of its effects on the
National Health Service are discussed. Questions for future research are posed.
Islamic Hospital Chains
A brief look at Islamic Hospital Chains.
In Jordan, Amman there is an Islamic HospitaL.
On the first of Sep. 1982 it started with 110 beds and at the time being it has 342 beds
serving patients.
The United States of America is a strong world leader. All countries have some problems. A country that is united
is a stronger country. An organization that is united is a strong organization. The followers of Deen Allah do not
have one united organization as the Islamic Hospital Chain. If all followers of Deen Allah band together with Zakat
Medical.com we would have a united organization and it would be much better for us. An Islamic Hospital Chain
will be built, as well as other Islamic Health Care Facilities. Zakat Medical.com is a start.

reason for us not to have OUR OWN. With the registration of all Mosque and followers of Deen Allah we will build

much stronger then many stand alone organizations, such as what we now have.
