Aster Medcity Expands with New Tower, Adds 100 Beds to Meet Rising Demand

Aster Medcity has inaugurated its fourth tower, a 1 lakh sq ft facility adding 100 beds, to address the growing healthcare needs of the region and provide advanced medical care.

The new tower houses the Aster Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Aster Aesthetics, and Aster Dermatology, featuring 25 consultation rooms dedicated to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The expansion coincides with Aster Medcity’s 10th anniversary celebrations, the hospital announced in a press release.

Inaugurating the tower, Kerala’s State Industries Minister P. Rajeeve highlighted the state's growing reputation as a medical tourism hub, crediting strong public-private sector partnerships. "Aster Medcity has been a key player in elevating Kerala’s healthcare infrastructure with world-class facilities," he said.

The event also marked the launch of the renovated Aster Institute of Cardiac Sciences by Aster DM Healthcare Founder and Chairman Azad Moopen, and the introduction of the 360-degree heartcare segment by MLA T.J. Vinod.

In a special moment, Manoj M.G, a former patient who underwent successful wrist replantation at Aster Medcity, inaugurated the renovated Aster Aesthetics department. His procedure was performed by the hospital’s expert Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic team after his wrist was completely severed.

Azad Moopen emphasized the hospital’s commitment to accessible, affordable, and high-quality healthcare, particularly at a time when medical innovation is advancing rapidly. As part of its expansion, Aster Medcity also introduced a new health initiative, “Take Charge,” encouraging individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles and reduce dependence on hospital care.

Since its establishment, Aster Medcity’s 40-acre waterfront campus has played a significant role in boosting Kerala’s medical tourism, attracting patients from across the globe. It is also the first facility in Kerala to introduce high-precision robotic surgeries using the da Vinci system, having performed over 5,000 robotic-assisted surgeries through its Aster Minimal Access Robotic Surgery (MARS) programme.
