Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre Explores Global Expansion Opportunities in Uzbekistan

A key focus of the discussions was Yangi Tashkent (New Tashkent), a proposed greenfield urban development spanning approximately 20,000 hectares.

Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre, Mumbai, is exploring opportunities to strengthen its presence in Uzbekistan as part of its international expansion plans.

A recent hospital delegation visited Uzbekistan and held discussions with government officials, healthcare authorities, and medical institutions to explore potential investments in healthcare infrastructure, institutional collaboration, and medical education.

A key focus of the discussions was Yangi Tashkent (New Tashkent), a proposed greenfield urban development spanning approximately 20,000 hectares.

The delegation met with the Head of the Department of Investment Promotion and Foreign Economic Relations at the New Tashkent Directorate to discuss investment frameworks, development processes, and opportunities for establishing healthcare infrastructure within the proposed city.

Further, the delegation also engaged with the Head of the Licensing Department at the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation to understand the regulatory requirements governing medical education and explore opportunities for academic collaboration and institutional development.

In addition, visits to hospitals and clinics across Tashkent provided insights into the country's existing healthcare infrastructure, service delivery systems, and emerging requirements.

According to the hospital, India's capabilities in tertiary healthcare, clinical excellence, and medical education offer opportunities for bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

The engagements aimed to explore potential avenues for cross-border healthcare investment, institutional partnerships, knowledge exchange, and capacity building.

The engagements come amid Lilavati Hospital's broader expansion plans across domestic and international markets.

The hospital has outlined a capacity expansion roadmap that includes plans to add 5,000 beds over the next two years through new healthcare facilities in India and overseas.

As part of its international expansion, Lilavati Hospital recently launched a super-speciality outpatient department (OPD) in Almaty, Kazakhstan, marking its entry into the Central Asian market.
