Dr. Fazil Abubakar CP, Medical Director, highlighted the dedication of the team in meeting global benchmarks.
Further bolstering its growth, Daya General Hospital secured ₹150 crore in institutional equity funding in 2025 from Ascent Capital. This investment supports a five-year expansion plan aimed at increasing bed capacity from 500 to 1,500.

The expansion roadmap also involves establishing two new hospitals in neighboring districts and upgrading the Thrissur unit into a quaternary care center. These initiatives aim to enhance accessibility to advanced medical services and reduce patient travel for complex procedures, reinforcing Daya's position as a comprehensive healthcare network.
