The healthcare industry in both the Philippines and India are facing similar challenges.

He is the chairman and managing director of Aster DM Healthcare, which now has its footprints across boundaries, having operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, and several locations across India. Advancements in technology has brought some very interesting changes in the field of healthcare, Moopen further states:  “The aim and the hope is to reach a much wider segment of the population at lower cost. If we are able to reach people without spending large capital outlays in setting up units, we are able to keep the costs low, making it more affordable to the patients.” Aster is committed to staying at the forefront of such shifts in the delivery of healthcare.
