What Fortis Healthcare does

Operates a chain of multi-specialty hospitals and diagnostic centers across India, majority-owned by the IHH Healthcare group.

Earns mostly from inpatient stays and procedures at its own hospitals, paid by patients, private insurers and corporate schemes, so bed occupancy and the mix of treatments carry the business. SRL, a pathology-lab network, adds a second stream paid per test. Malaysia-based IHH Healthcare is the controlling shareholder.

In one line: India's smaller HCA Healthcare.
