Star Hospitals, founded by Gopichand Mannam, operates key facilities in Banjara Hills and Nanakramguda and has built a strong presence in tertiary care. Founded in 2008, it began as a cardiac-focused institute before expanding into a broader healthcare network.

Months back, the hospital expanded its presence to West Bengal with the inauguration of its first Information Centre and Air Ambulance Services in Ballygunge, Kolkata, strengthening access to specialised healthcare services for patients in the region.

The initiative aimed at addressing the rising number of patients from Kolkata travelling to Hyderabad for advanced medical treatments. The new centre is designed to provide local consultation support, streamline treatment coordination, and enable continuity of care with STAR Hospitals’ specialist teams.
