Columbia Asia Hospital

Columbia Asia Hospitals, founded in Malaysia in 1996 by the Columbia Pacific Group, entered India in 2005 with its first facility in Hebbal, Bangalore. Known for delivering high-quality, patient-focused care, it rapidly expanded to 11 multispecialty hospitals in cities like Gurgaon, Pune, Kolkata, Mysore, Patiala, Ghaziabad, and more. These hospitals became widely trusted for their affordability, accessibility, and excellence in cardiology, neurology, oncology, nephrology, orthopedics, and critical care.

Together, the Columbia Asia units contribute significantly to the larger Manipal Hospitals network, offering a combined capacity of 7,600+ beds, 4,000+ doctors, and a presence in 27+ cities across India. The Columbia Asia hospitals themselves typically range between 100 to 300 beds per facility, designed to provide efficient care in modern, patient-friendly environments.

In April 2021, Manipal Hospitals acquired Columbia Asia’s India operations for ₹2,100 crore, making it the second-largest hospital network in India. Now operating as part of the Manipal Group, Columbia Asia continues its legacy of ethical, technology-driven, and compassionate healthcare.
