About the Organisation: This super specialty hospital chain provides world-class treatment at affordable prices. A special and warm environment, attentive doctors, a dedicated paramedical staff and modern facilities enhanced by a caring and sensitive 'human touch' takes the medical expertise to the next level of excellence.
Who they are: This chain of hospitals was established in 1996 to provide international quality medical care throughout India. What distinguishes them from their contemporaries, is the 'patient-centricity' in hospital design, services, programmes and most significantly in the caring approach of the staff.
What they do: The chain currently has 1600 beds in its hospitals and has a pioneering "tele-medicine" network connecting its facilities so an expert is never out of reach for a diagnosis, further consultation or a second opinion. It's currently developing a teaching centre in Gurgaon, south of Delhi, and is linked to research organisations. It has ambitious expansion plans for hospital facilities too with a target of 5,500 beds by 2008 and also to set up a foundation to fund medical services for India's more disadvantaged people.
What you can do: This is a great placement for trainee and qualified nurses and doctors or even those aspiring for a career in medicine. You'll get the chance to develop your skills working with highly-trained and experienced professionals and you'll also see first hand some conditions you might not come across so easily in the UK.
You'll learn about health care in India and the conditions and culture of its people so you'll come back with many extra dimensions to your knowledge and experience, that you'll be able to use in the UK's multicultural setting and add to your CV.
