Wondering what is the probability of a bigger hospital chain/group acquiring KMCH? It will be pretty expensive for acquiring the infrastructure as well as the doctors and staff to compete with KMCH in coimbatore. The medical college is probably a good source of junior doctors and nursing staff. Other big hospitals in Coimbatore are as follows but in no particular order:
- PSG Hospitals
- Ramakrishna
- GKNM
- KG
- Royale Care (Newer player)
KMCH is expensive but seems like a safe option always. KMCH is also a little far from the city centre. It’s around a 45 minute drive whereas KG Hospitals, Ramakrishna, PSG, and GKNM are very close to the city centre.
KMCH City Centre, which is in a very convenient location in the city, though not that crowded it is very well maintained and provides services such as dialysis and other services. They are multi storied and provide an option for not so serious patients I guess. However, I am not sure if the city centre is a profit driver. Might need to dig deeper into the annual reports to see if they provide the contribution of the city centre. It might just help in directing more patients to their main campus.
KMCH main campus on the other hand is super crowded. Compared to KMCH, PSG Hospitals comparable in terms of size seems not so crowded. It might be because PSG is more spread out in terms of its buildings but not sure. Even PSG has a medical college and is much older than KMCH and is just as well known in Coimbatore but maybe cheaper. PSG is not a public limited company.
