In a step towards expanding access to outpatient care, Paras Health has inaugurated its first Paras MedCentre in Mohali. The facility was inaugurated in the presence of Mr. Vineet Aggarwal, Group COO, Paras Health; Dr. Pankaj Mittal, Facility Director, Paras Health Panchkula; and senior consultants from the organisation. The centre will provide consultations, diagnostics, and follow-up care, supported by visiting doctors from Paras Health Panchkula.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior dignitaries and healthcare professionals, along with representatives from corporates, PSUs, Resident Welfare Associations, and members of the local medical community in Mohali, as well as the Principal of Paragon Senior Secondary School. The centre will also see consultations by experienced specialists, bringing advanced medical care closer to the community.
For residents of Mohali and the surrounding suburban areas around Panchkula, the facility reduces the need to travel long distances or depend on hospital visits for routine care. It is expected to improve access to timely and more affordable consultations, particularly for patients requiring regular follow-ups or ongoing treatment.
Speaking at the inauguration, Mr. Vineet Aggarwal, Group COO, Paras Health, said, “The launch of our first Paras MedCentre in Mohali marks an important step in Paras Health’s journey towards decentralised and patient-first healthcare delivery.
Our focus is on bringing specialist consultations closer to where patients live, making care more accessible, convenient, and continuous. This model will help us strengthen our presence in high-growth regions like the Tricity while addressing evolving healthcare needs at the community level.”
Dr. Pankaj Mittal, Facility Director, Paras Health Panchkula, added, “Access to timely specialist care continues to be one of the biggest gaps in urbanising regions. With the launch of our first Paras MedCentre in Mohali, we are bringing experienced specialists closer to the community. This helps patients seek care earlier, stay consistent with treatment, and manage their conditions better over time.”
A large share of healthcare needs, from early diagnosis and routine monitoring to the management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac ailments, can be effectively addressed at the outpatient level. With India, and states like Punjab, seeing a steady rise in lifestyle-related diseases driven by changing habits and sedentary routines, the need for regular monitoring and early intervention has become more critical.
In this context, bringing these services closer to where people live can support earlier intervention and more consistent care.As the first of a planned network, the Paras MedCentre in Mohali is expected to serve as a model for expanding neighbourhood-level outpatient care. With this step, Paras Health aims to make quality healthcare more accessible and closer to where people live.
