Commenting on the development, Manipal Hospitals chairman Dr H Sudarshan Ballal said: “We are thrilled to partner with Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

“This collaboration will provide an unprecedented opportunity for our Interventional Radiologists to learn from global experts and enhance their skills in diagnosis and interventional therapy.

“We are confident that this partnership will not only benefit our doctors and patients but also contribute to the advancement of Interventional Radiology as a specialty in India.”

Meanwhile, Manipal Health Enterprises intends to expand its network of hospitals by another 12–14 facilities with around 4,000 beds or more over the next five years, reported the Economic Times.

This move comes after investment company Temasek earlier this month acquired an additional 41% interest in India-based Manipal Health via its portfolio company Sheares Healthcare Group.
