In a major step toward strengthening regional healthcare, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals has entered into a strategic partnership with Amandeep Hospitals, a renowned healthcare provider in Punjab and the Jammu & Kashmir region. As part of the agreement, Ujala Cygnus will acquire a significant stake in Amandeep Hospitals, marking a major expansion in its northern India presence.
Combining Institutional Strength with Clinical Legacy
Through this alliance, Ujala Cygnus will bring its institutional scale, advanced technology, and operational expertise to the table. Amandeep Hospitals will continue to offer its strong clinical foundation, regional trust, and legacy of compassionate patient care, built over decades of service.
Leadership Speaks: A Shared Vision for Excellence
As reported by expresshealthcare, Probal Ghosal, Chairman, Director, and Co-Founder of Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services, emphasized the shared mission behind the partnership. He said, “This collaboration with Amandeep Hospitals is built on mutual respect, shared values, and a common commitment to excellence in patient care. By combining our respective strengths, we are poised to redefine the healthcare landscape in Punjab and J&K. Our goal is not just to grow but to grow meaningfully—with deeper community engagement, stronger medical talent, and a continuous focus on clinical outcomes.”
New Centres of Excellence and Robotics Expansion
As part of the collaboration, Dr. Avtar Singh will lead the Orthopaedics Centre of Excellence. He is the Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon and AI Joint Replacement Specialist across both hospital networks. In this expanded role, he will spearhead the rollout of a robotics program. The program will cover Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, enhancing access to advanced orthopaedic care.
Significant Growth in Network and Capacity
This partnership marks Ujala Cygnus’ entry into the Punjab healthcare market, expanding its hospital network from 22 to 28 facilities. Ujala Cygnus will add five hospitals in Amritsar, Pathankot, Firozpur, and Srinagar. This will increase its bed capacity from 2,000 to nearly 2,800. This move also cements Ujala Cygnus’ position as the largest private hospital network in Jammu and Kashmir.
Amandeep Hospitals: A Legacy of Specialized Care
Dr. Amandeep Kaur and Dr. Avtar Singh established Amandeep Hospitals in 1990. The hospital specializes in Orthopaedics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Neurosciences, Cardiac Sciences, Pulmonary Medicine and Thoracic Surgery, and Gastroenterology. The hospital group has long been a trusted name in Punjab and surrounding regions.
Future Expansion Plans Across Punjab
Looking ahead, the combined entity plans to further extend its footprint across Punjab. Targeted cities for new facilities include Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Patiala, and the Tricity region. The focus will shift toward strengthening tertiary and quaternary care services. This will ensure patients have access to advanced treatments closer to home.
Backed by Strategic Investment
General Atlantic, a global growth equity investor, supports the expansion with a strategic growth investment. General Atlantic formalized the partnership in April 2024. It empowers Ujala Cygnus to pursue its vision of delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare to underserved regions.
