With an eye at revolutionising the Healthcare experience of under-served populations of Bharat, Ujala Cygnus was established in November 2019 as a merger between Ujala Healthcare and Cygnus Medicare. Ujala Healthcare was the diversified healthcare entity of Amar Ujala Group, one of India’s largest Media brands, which enjoys tremendous brand equity in tier 2 and 3 towns and rural regions of Northern India. Cygnus Medicare, on the other hand, was created by professional doctors who stood up to provide high-quality secondary and tertiary healthcare facilities to tier 2 and tier 3 towns, especially during the ‘golden hour’ of critical care. It was established to bring succour to people who were forced to look to Metro cities during critical illness.

Vision

Creating a value based inclusive healthcare brand for tier 2 and tier 3 communities by providing quality care with emphasis on affordability.

Mission

Building trust by saving and caring for lives with dignity, affordability and quality.

Operating across northern India, Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services manages 28 multi-super speciality NABH-accredited hospitals. Our team comprises over 300 highly qualified doctors, including some of the most esteemed professionals in the healthcare field, who have made these Centres of Excellence possible.

Today, Ujala Cygnus has succeeded in making the Tier 2 & 3 towns of North India in which it operates, self-sufficient where world-class healthcare is concerned. It has institutionalised Centres of Excellence in Intensive Care, Neurology, and Cardiology. Communities in these underserved regions are now receiving state-of-the-art healthcare services, including Trauma, Cardiology, Cardiac surgery, High-end critical care, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Spine Surgery, Joint Replacement, Gastroenterology, Oncology, Paediatrics, Neonatology and Advanced Laparoscopy from the Ujala Cygnus group of hospitals.

Ujala Cygnus Healthcare Services operations span Northern India, with 28 multi-super speciality NABH accredited hospitals, making it the largest NABH accredited super-speciality hospital chain of the region. A team of over 500 highly-qualified doctors, including some of the finest names in the field of healthcare, have made these centres of excellence possible.

The company’s future plans are to provide inclusive primary and preventive healthcare access through innovative digital devices and solutions across regions of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, and Punjab with an aim to establish 10 more hospitals in the next couple of years. The company is also looking to expand its footprints significantly in MP, Rajasthan and Bihar. Ujala Cygnus is also amplifying its services and activities to support the public health systems of the government, working consistently to deliver primary care facilities. Besides this, Ujala Cygnus is also working extensively on mental health, maternal mortality, equity, and access to health facilities in remote locations of Northern India as part of its Sustainable Development Goals.

Ujala Cygnus is led by a stellar board consisting of renowned professionals with diverse backgrounds and a deep understanding of India’s Healthcare ecosystem.
