The Breach Candy Hospital now has an 11-storey sibling, post four years of labour. The city’s premier medical facility has added one more building to its complex expanding its capacity. “We are up and rolling,” said Breach Candy Hospital Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Aniruddha Kohli. The new building that stands adjacent to its older, squatter sibling, is undergoing finishing touches to its facade. Said Dr Kohli on a frantically busy weekday morning, “It was obvious we needed to expand our facility. We have 206 rooms in our old building, and they were just not enough. Four years ago, we started on our second building. We lost construction time during COVID, but now we are full throttle,” said the CEO who added that the hospital deliberately maintains a low profile. “This interview may be the exception. Otherwise, we prefer to let our work speak,” smiled the CEO as one skipped down the stairs to different floors through the new building with its 66 rooms.
