The project will help broaden access to high-quality health care and good administrative and patient care to common people, it added.
“This project demonstrates IFC's commitment to social sector development. It also aligns with our strategy to invest in health care, one of India's largest service industries where the private sector's involvement is most critical,” IFC Director for Health and Education Guy Ellena said in a statement.
