The Columbia Asia Difference

- Advanced technology:
All our hospitals are connected by a common software operating system that allows for seamless record-keeping, diagnostics and billing.
"Our designs are the result of our belief that hospitals in the 21st century were going to be much smaller than those built in the past, and that they would rely heavily on computer systems," said Rick Evans, chairman of Columbia Asia. "There are more computers in our community hospitals than there are inpatient beds."
- Excellence and trust:
Every hospital is staffed with highly trained doctors recruited from and working in their native country to provide care that is compatible with the culture of the region. Each facility also has its own pharmacy where patients can trust that they receive safe, quality medications that are not outdated, tampered with or contaminated.
"We at Columbia Asia practice in accordance with medical by-laws that require the highest ethical standards in medicine," said Dr. Nandakumar Jairam, Medical Director of Columbia Asia Hospitals Pvt Ltd - India.
- Affordability:
Our emphasis on efficient administration, accurate diagnosis and effective care helps keep costs affordable for patients. With fewer beds, our community hospitals can offer higher quality care and allow patients to return home sooner. The average stay at a community hospital is less than two days.
The price of delivering a child at one of our Malaysia facilities, including overnight stays, doctor fees, and other charges, is less than US$500. The cost at our Indian hospitals is even lower. - Proximity:
Each facility is located close to patients and is right-sized to become a true community health center where people receive care in their own neighborhoods. - Patient focused:
Every waiting room is equipped with a plasma display screen to tell every patient exactly how many people are ahead of them and when they will be seen.
