Inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, the hospital marks Aster DM Healthcare’s eighth facility in the state.

Dr Azad Moopen, Founder and Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, described the launch as a major step in expanding the group’s footprint in Kerala. “The launch of Aster MIMS Kasaragod is a momentous milestone as we strengthen our presence with our eighth hospital in the state,” he said.
