CEO
In an exclusive interview with CEO INSIGHTS, Dr Aloke touches upon his professional journey and talks in detail about OMNI group of hospitals and its operations.
Kindly throw some light on your professional background & experience in hospital management? Also, what are the challenges & opportunities that you foresee in the current Medical Care market and how do you mould your multispecialty hospital accordingly?
I was a surgeon in the Armed forces for nearly two decades. My career in managing corporate hospitals started post my Army career, 15 years back and has spanned managing hospitals and hospital groups in India and overseas. The Indian healthcare industry has seen patients coming from lower middle socio-economic strata mostly from the Middle East, North Africa, Bangladesh, Afghanistanetc who are extremely price sensitive. Hospitals with tight price control and competitive prices can benefit from this segment. The days of grossly overpriced foreign medical care is nearly over. OMNI Hospitals currently offers superlative patient care across multiple locations. Providing corporate hospital level tertiary care at secondary care and nursing home rates to patients are the core visions guiding OMNI Hospitals and that is what differentiates OMNI Hospitals from other multi-speciality corporate hospitals.
Please tell us more about OMNI Hospitals and the various specialties/departments that you cater to. Also, tell us about the unique benefits of undergoing
healthcare treatment from your hospital.
OMNI group of hospitals were created with a specific promoter’s vision of providing high quality care at an affordable price point. To achieve that in a profitable manner the group follows strict price benchmarking and offers many surgeries and procedures at fixed prices, often equivalent to that of good quality nursing homes.
