Manipal Hospitals, one of India’s largest healthcare networks, has officially rebranded Medica North Bengal Clinic and Medica Cancer Hospital, Rangapani as Manipal Hospital Siliguri and Manipal Hospital Rangapani. This marks a strategic step in expanding its footprint in Eastern India following the acquisition of MedicaSynergie last year.
With this move, Manipal Hospitals consolidates its position as the largest hospital chain in the region. The Siliguri unit, a trusted name since 1976, has served over 36 lakh patients and now plans to boost its capabilities in cardiology, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, and critical care. Simultaneously, Manipal Hospital Rangapani is scaling its oncology services, with over 50 cancer surgeries monthly and plans to add a second Linac machine, 50 beds, three modular OTs, and an advanced ICU.
On the re-branding of both the hospitals, Mr. Deepak Venugopalan, Regional Chief Operating Officer, Manipal Hospitals – South, shared “The rebranding of Medica North Bengal Clinic and Medica Cancer Hospital to Manipal Hospital Siliguri and Manipal Hospital Rangapani marks an important step in our journey to extend Manipal’s integrated care model to Eastern India. This move reflects our continued focus on delivering consistent clinical excellence and patient-centric care across geographies, while building a unified healthcare network that meets the diverse needs of the communities we serve.”
Dr. Ayanabh Debgupta, Regional Chief Operating Officer, Manipal Hospitals – East, shared, “The integration of Medica’s rich legacy with the expertise and scale of Manipal Hospitals is both a strategic alignment and a forward-looking vision to transform healthcare access and quality in Eastern India. With Manipal Hospital Rangapani emerging as one of the region’s most active oncology centers, and the development of Manipal Hospital Siliguri as a robust superspeciality infrastructure, patients can now receive comprehensive, high-quality cancer care close to home. We are building a deeply connected healthcare network—rooted in clinical excellence, guided by patient-first values, and committed to making advanced care more accessible and affordable across North Bengal and beyond.”
Commenting on the transformation, Mr. Sanjay Singha Mahapatra, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospital Rangapani& Manipal Hospital Siliguri, said, “With Manipal Hospitals stepping into Siliguri and Rangapani, we are entering a transformative phase for healthcare in this region. Our expansion of infrastructure, addition of cutting-edge specialties, and connectivity to Manipal’s strong national networks will give the residents of North Bengal access to world-class medical care. This rebranding allows us to establish new standards in clinical excellence, technology, and patient satisfaction.“
Siliguri, known as a gateway for medical services in North Bengal, Sikkim, and parts of Bihar, stands to gain significantly. The rebranding aligns with rising demand for high-end superspecialty care locally, reducing dependency on metros and enhancing patient retention.
