Columbia Asia is a chain of hospitals in Asia, with 30 medical facilities across India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia and one clinic in Kenya. Columbia Asia is owned by a US-based investment fund : International Columbia USA LLC (ICU).
The company offers full-service hospitals usually built in the suburbs, rather than the central city. Columbia Asia's target market is the fast-growing middle income group.
Columbia Asia believes in setting up smaller hospitals; less than 100 beds; built in residential areas for accessibility and efficiency. A typical hospital has about 80 adult beds, costing about $15 to $20 million to build. It sees about 8,000 patients a month, and brings in about $1 million in monthly revenue.
Most of the company's 10,000 employees are from the host countries. Columbia Asia hires its doctors and staff largely from the local areas.
The company is in the midst of expansion and upon completion of this phase the company will have 15 hospitals in India, 14 hospitals in Malaysia, three hospitals in Vietnam and five hospitals in Indonesia, together representing an investment of over $600 million (U.S.)
