These days, physicians are venturing outside of their comfort zone to open new hospitals: Ramesh Kannan, Director, Somerset Indus

It's not uncommon for physicians to expand their horizons and take on new challenges, including venturing outside of their traditional roles to open new hospitals. This trend reflects the evolving landscape of healthcare where professionals are increasingly involved in various aspects of healthcare delivery beyond clinical practice. This expansion often stems from a desire to address gaps in healthcare provision, offer specialized services tailored to specific patient populations or healthcare needs, or simply to innovate and create better healthcare experiences for patients. Physicians may be drawn to the entrepreneurial aspect of hospital ownership, seeing it as an avenue to make a broader impact on healthcare delivery while also potentially achieving professional fulfillment and financial success.
