Global Capital plc's largest shareholder, British American Investment (BAI), inaugurated a high-tech tertiary care hospital in Mauritius following the completion of an investment of over $70 million.

Global Capital chief executive officer Nicholas Portelli attended the opening of the Apollo Bramwell Hospital, which offers integrated and complete medical care facilities, ranging from routine procedures to major interventional surgeries.

The hospital is a joint venture of Apollo Bramwell Hospitals Enterprise Ltd, Asia's healthcare giant, and BAI.

The Apollo Bramwell Hospital is a 200-bed private hospital employing 600 members of staff, offering a range of healthcare services in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, neurology, nephrology trauma and cosmetic surgery, as well as traditional therapies such as ayurveda, acupuncture, aromatherapy and music therapy.

Spread over 27,000 square metres, this world-class health care facility is the first hospital of the sub- Saharan African region to provide an array of facilities featuring high-tech medical equipment (including telemedicine) under one roof. Designed as a centre of medical excellence in the region, the hospital will cater for international patients.

The hospital offers a high standard of patient care. Patients in the Deluxe or Presidential suite are offered meals served and presented to match the standards of a five-star hotel.
