KIMS Hospital Doubles Anantapur Facility Capacity to 500 Beds, Strengthens its Regional Presence

Following this expansion, KIMS Hospitals’ total bed capacity has reached 9,117.

The Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) Hospitals Group has expanded KIMS Saveera Hospital in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, doubling its bed capacity from 250 beds to 500 beds.

Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav and Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav recently inaugurated the expanded facility.

The expansion initiative is aimed at strengthening the Group’s healthcare presence across the Rayalaseema region while expanding advanced infrastructure for specialised medical treatment.

Commenting on the initiative, Health Minister Yadav said, “Strengthening healthcare infrastructure across Rayalaseema is a top priority for our government. The expansion of KIMS Saveera Hospital into a 500-bed tertiary care centre, equipped with advanced radiation, surgical, and diagnostic oncology facilities, brings super-specialised medical care directly to the people of Anantapur.”

The latest facility includes a Comprehensive Oncology Block equipped with advanced cancer treatment and diagnostic technologies.

These include an Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator, digital PET-CT, brachytherapy, and other diagnostic equipment.

Additionally, the hospital has established a dedicated Cuddles Mother & Child Block, featuring specialised neonatal intensive care facilities to support maternal and newborn healthcare.

Following this expansion, KIMS Hospitals’ total bed capacity has reached 9,117.

Sharing his thoughts, Dr. B. Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, KIMS Hospitals Group, said, “With the expansion of KIMS Saveera Hospital to a 500-bed facility and the launch of our advanced Oncology and Mother and Child blocks, we are bringing medical infrastructure, cutting-edge technology, and expert care to Anantapur, which is truly on par with major metro hubs like Hyderabad and Bengaluru.”

Further, alongside the hospital expansion, KIMS Saveera Hospital will distribute 200 DRIISTI AI-powered smart glasses to visually impaired beneficiaries in Anantapur district as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.

In a parallel development, KIMS has signed definitive agreements to acquire a 51% stake in Sarvottam Health Care, which operates the 183-bed Trust Multi Speciality Hospital in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, for up to INR 80 crore. The acquisition will expand KIMS’ presence in the East Godavari district and formalise its existing O&M arrangement with the hospital.
