Pacific OneHealth, backed by the Pacific Malls Group, has unveiled a ₹300 crore investment plan to build a network of micro-hospitals, aiming to bridge the gap between neighbourhood clinics and overburdened tertiary care centres in north India.
In the initial phase, the company will invest ₹100 crore to set up five micro-hospitals across Delhi NCR over the next two years. These centres will function as high-efficiency, community-based surgical and care units, helping reduce pressure on large hospitals while acting as referral hubs.
Designed on a short-stay, high-turnover model, nearly 70% of procedures at these facilities are expected to be completed within 24-48 hours or as day-care cases. Each unit will have 30-80 beds and offer specialised services including gastroenterology, gynaecology, urology, ENT, and orthopaedics, along with 24×7 emergency and diagnostic support.
Experts have highlighted the importance of such a model in addressing India’s growing burden of non-communicable diseases. The initiative focuses on decentralising secondary care, bringing surgical and diagnostic services closer to communities, and reducing unnecessary referrals and long hospital stays.
From the third year onwards, Pacific OneHealth plans to expand to over 10 facilities nationwide, with a long-term goal of establishing 20 micro-hospitals over the next decade. The company estimates the model could impact around 500,000 lives by 2030.
Digital integration is central to the strategy, with all facilities connected through electronic health records, telemedicine, and coordinated care pathways to ensure continuity of care beyond hospital visits.
The model also extends into eldercare and community health, enabling continuous monitoring, engagement, and support for patients, particularly the elderly. By combining a smaller footprint with faster turnaround and integrated care delivery, Pacific OneHealth aims to improve healthcare access and affordability while easing the burden on tertiary care infrastructure.
