Columbia Asia is a multinational chain of hospitals in Asia, with 30 medical facilities across Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and India,. Columbia Asia is one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare companies in the region. It started its first hospital in Sarawak, East Malaysia in 1997 with a simple goal to "deliver accessibly, quality, cost-effective specialist care to people where they live." It later expanded its operations into Vietnam, India, and Indonesia.. Addition to the pipeline projects, expansion of the existing facilities are also planned to cater to the growing healthcare demand in the community. The company offers full-service hospitals usually built in the suburbs, rather than the central city. 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. A typical hospital has about 90-150 beds, costing roughly $30 million to build. Each hospital sees about 8,000 - 15,000 patients a month, and brings in about $1-2 million in monthly revenue. Most of the company’s 5,820 employees are from the host countries. Columbia Asia hires its doctors and staff largely from the local areas.
