Columbia Asia is a multinational chain of hospitals in Asia, with 30 medical facilities across India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. Columbia Asia is one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare companies in Asia and owned by a US-based investment fund : International Columbia USA LLC (ICU)[1]. The Group started operations in 1997 with a simple goal to "deliver accessible, quality, cost-effective specialist care to people where they live."

The company offers full-service hospitals usually built in the suburbs, rather than the central city.[2] Columbia Asia has a cluster strategy where multiple hospitals are grouped to complement each facility, providing accessibility in the community. Columbia Asia's target market is the fast-growing middle income group.

Columbia Asia believes in setting up smaller hospitals; less than 200 beds; built in residential areas for accessibility and efficiency.[3] A typical hospital has about 90-150 beds, costing roughly $30 million to build. Each hospital sees about sees about 8,000 - 15,000 patients a month, and brings in about $1-2 million in monthly revenue. All hospitals in the group have the standardized design, which gives the same look and feel throughout all geographies under one unified brand.

Most of the company’s 12,000 employees are from the host countries.[4] 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 14 facilities in India, 14 facilities in Malaysia, 3 facilities in Vietnam and 3 faciliites in Indonesia, together representing an investment of over $600 million (U.S.). Addition to the pipeline projects, expansion of the existing facilities are also planned to cater to the growing healthcare demand in the community. [5][6][7][8]
