In a major step towards transforming Punjab into a vibrant, healthy, and future-ready state under the leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, Cabinet Minister Sh. Sanjeev Arora announced that Fortis Healthcare will invest over ₹900 crore to expand its Mohali campus.
The expansion will add more than 400 beds, creating a world-class centre of excellence in healthcare.
While addressing the media, Sh. Sanjeev Arora said the integrated healthcare campus of Fortis Hospital Mohali will span 13.4 acres, generating over 2,500 direct jobs and 2,200 indirect jobs, further enhancing Punjab’s role as a hub for advanced healthcare and medical tourism.
