The company, which is based in Varanasi, has begun expansion into semi-urban and rural areas through the establishment of 25-55 bed secondary hospitals. These hospitals provide medical, diagnostic and pharmaceutical services to patients who otherwise would need to travel several hours, and incur significant cost, for a similar level of care.

Key program components: 

GV Meditech Ltd. operates a chain of secondary level hospitals that serve people in Uttar Pradesh, Western Bihar, parts of Jharkhand, and parts of Nepal.

There are three main healthcare facilities operated by GV Meditech: the Apollo Clinic, GV Meditech Hospital, and Surya Meditech Hospital.

G. V. Meditech Hospital is specially designed to cater to trauma cases. The beds are equipped with central oxygen connections, monitors and ventilators thus making any bed convertible to an ICU as and when required. The hospital is supported by a team of 66 eminent consultants of different specialties.
