AHH Commits Rs 100 Cr Towards Single-Specialty Healthcare in Odisha

Asia Healthcare Holdings (AHH) is driving Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU)'s next phase of growth and expansion with the launch of its super-specialized uro-nephrology hospital in Bhubaneswar, marking its entry into Odisha.

The launch builds on AHH's cumulative investment of Rs 650 crore in AINU, with a further Rs 100 crore committed towards the new facility and other key initiatives for the state. AHH aims to close this financial year with a network of 10 hospitals as part of AINU’s expansion.

AHH's previous investments have supported AINU's expansion and strengthened its clinical and technological capabilities nationwide. Key developments include adding 300 beds, expanding its Banjara Hills facility, and adding three new state-of-the-art robotic surgery programs. The Bhubaneswar hospital marks AINU's 8th facility in India, after Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Siliguri, and Chennai; and extends its specialised kidney and urology services to patients across Odisha and neighbouring regions.

The expansion comes against the backdrop of a growing kidney disease burden in India. According to the ICMR–INDIAB study, published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, impaired kidney function was identified in 3.2% of the nationally representative study population of 25,408 adults, with Odisha among the states reporting a prevalence of 6% or higher.

The new hospital brings together services across Nephrology, Urology, Uro-Oncology, Kidney Transplantation, Dialysis, Paediatric Urology, Andrology and Reconstructive Urology. Its infrastructure includes a 12-station haemodialysis unit, three dedicated operation theatres, a 100W Holmium laser, a 45W Thulium Fibre Laser, 3D laparoscopy, RIRS, PCNL, an in-house 32-slice CT scanner and video urodynamic. A dedicated urological robotic surgery platform is also scheduled to be launched soon. The facility will be supported by dedicated Nephrology and Urology OPDs and an in-house pharmacy.

Post the acquisition, we have added 300 beds, enhanced robotic technology and strengthened clinical talent” He also added, “AINU's expansion into Odisha is an important step in addressing this gap, while strengthening its presence in Eastern India.

We see significant potential in developing specialized centers of excellence that can deliver consistent clinical outcomes and bring advanced healthcare closer to communities. As part of our growth plans, we are on track to close this financial year with a network of 10 hospitals, further strengthening our presence and reach across the country.”

Sandeep Guduru, Chief Executive Officer, Asian Institute of Nephrology & Urology (AINU), said, “AINU’s entry into Bhubaneswar is a strategic milestone in our growth journey and reinforces our vision of building a wider network of specialized kidney and urology care centers. This is our 8th hospital across the country. As healthcare needs evolve, we believe dedicated centers of excellence can play a vital role in improving access, strengthening patient confidence and delivering consistent standards of care.

Our expansion into Odisha is driven by the opportunity to combine clinical expertise, advanced infrastructure and operational excellence to serve a larger population. This is the 2nd exclusive Uro-Nephro hospital in Odisha after AIMS, Bhubaneswar.  We remain committed to building a trusted healthcare destination for patients across Eastern India.”
