India multi-speciality hospital market expanding
KKR wants to level up Medicover's talent, technology, and hospital facilities while keeping clinical standards strong.
With India's multi-speciality hospital market set to jump from ₹6,300 billion in 2024 to ₹9,800 billion by 2028 (that's a huge leap!), private equity firms like KKR are racing to build bigger healthcare networks.
Fun fact: globally, KKR has already invested over $20 billion in healthcare since 2004.
