The #28 hospital in India · Newsweek World's Best
#28 Aster Medcity 4.7★
Aster Medcity is an 800-bed (700 inpatient + 100 daycare) quaternary-care hospital on a 40-acre waterfront campus in Kochi, Kerala, established in 2013 by Aster DM Healthcare. It describes itself as the first JCI-accredited quaternary-care multispecialty hospital in Kerala and has also been accredited by NABH, though neither claim was independently confirmed against the JCI or NABH online directories during this pass. It runs Centres of Excellence in cardiac sciences, neurosciences, oncology, gastro sciences and integrated liver care, urology & nephrology, paediatrics, women's health, and multi-organ transplant, and publishes its health-screening price list openly on its own 'Aster Wellness' page rather than gating it behind an enquiry form.
