In a significant stride toward enhancing Karnataka’s healthcare infrastructure, the SPARSH Group of Hospitals inaugurated its latest state-of-the-art quaternary care facility at Hennur Road, Bengaluru. The 300-bed hospital marks the group’s foray into advanced oncology services and underlines the city’s growing prominence as a hub for high-quality, patient-centric healthcare.

The inauguration ceremony witnessed the presence of eminent dignitaries, including Shri Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, who officially inaugurated the facility. He was joined by Jagadguru Shri Shivarathri Deshikendra Mahaswami of Suttur Math; Shri SS Mallikarjun, Minister of Mines & Geology and Horticulture; Shri Basavaraj Bommai, MP and Former Chief Minister; Justice Shivaraj V Patil, Former Supreme Court Judge; Dr. Shamanur Shivashankarappa, MLA; and Shri BA Basavaraja, MLA, KR Puram.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil, Minister for Medical Education, Government of Karnataka, emphasised the state’s growing healthcare leadership and its appeal to global medical travellers. “The world is looking at India—and Karnataka—as a healthcare destination,” he stated. “Our doctors are globally respected for their expertise and ethics. With Bengaluru’s technological ecosystem and the rise of cutting-edge facilities like SPARSH Hennur, we are creating the ideal environment for medical innovation and global patient care. We’re also working to establish platforms to attract international patients and create a robust medical tourism ecosystem.”

Highlighting Karnataka’s advancements in medical education, Dr. Patil added, “Karnataka now has the highest number of medical seats in India, even ahead of Tamil Nadu, and is investing heavily in super-speciality hospitals and cancer centres across the state.”

Chief Guest Shri Dinesh Gundu Rao echoed similar sentiments, stating, “Karnataka needs more hospitals and greater investment in the healthcare sector—not just in numbers, but in the quality of care we deliver. The focus must be on advanced, patient-centric services that can truly save lives. We are now seeing super-speciality services becoming a reality even in government hospitals, which is a big step forward.”

He further underscored the importance of accessible technology in healthcare delivery. “What’s encouraging is that cutting-edge technologies—like robotics, artificial intelligence, and next-generation medical equipment—are no longer confined to private institutions or big cities. With time, these technologies become more affordable and accessible, and that’s a huge advantage for public health. We must wholeheartedly welcome such innovations and continue to support the growth of world-class healthcare infrastructure across both public and private sectors,” he said.

The newly launched SPARSH Hospital at Hennur Road is built as a comprehensive quaternary care institution. It encompasses super-speciality departments in orthopaedics, neurosciences, cardiac sciences, oncology, organ transplantation, and women and child health. It also integrates advanced technologies such as robotic-assisted surgery, AI-powered diagnostics, 3D printing, and real-time data analytics, bringing together clinical expertise and digital transformation under one roof.

Dr. Sharan Shivaraj Patil, Chairman of SPARSH Group of Hospitals, reflected on the personal inspiration behind the project: “Hennur is a growing neighbourhood that lacked access to high-end healthcare. My own experience navigating my father’s cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic made me realise how difficult it can be—even for those in the field—to bring everything together. That journey inspired me to make high-quality cancer treatment accessible to every family. SPARSH Hennur is our first dedicated step into cancer care, and we aim to extend the same excellence to every patient.”

Apart from strengthening the region’s healthcare landscape, the new facility is poised to generate over 2,500 direct and indirect employment opportunities. With its research-driven approach and patient-friendly design, SPARSH Hennur also aspires to evolve as a centre for academic medicine and clinical breakthroughs.

This launch forms part of SPARSH Group’s broader growth blueprint to expand its footprint to nine hospitals with over 1,700 beds by the end of 2025. The group continues to champion a model of ethical, technologically advanced, and accessible healthcare delivery.

For India’s healthcare ecosystem, the development signals a pivotal moment in India’s transition toward integrated, innovation-led care models capable of addressing both domestic needs and international demands.
