# Lilavati Hospital to open first overseas centre in Kazakhstan 2026-08-15T15:48:32+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre will open its first overseas facility in Kazakhstan in September as a super-speciality outpatient centre. The centre will offer consultations and treatment planning in oncology, cardiac sciences, neurology, orthopaedics, and other fields. Patients needing complex procedures or major surgeries will be referred to Lilavati’s Bandra facility in Mumbai, making the Kazakhstan centre a referral and patient-acquisition point. The move comes as India promotes itself as a global Medical Value Travel destination. Government data shows 5.07 lakh foreign nationals came to India for medical treatment in 2025, about 5.5% of total foreign tourist arrivals. Bangladesh was the largest source market, followed by Iraq, Uzbekistan, Somalia, Turkmenistan and Oman. Lilavati plans to add about 3,000 beds over five years, including a 300-bed cancer hospital in Ahmedabad. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
