LifeSpring Hospitals Private Ltd. is an expanding chain of hospitals that provide high quality health care to lower-income women and children across Andhra Pradesh. LifeSpring’s small hospitals (20-25 beds) fill the void of high quality maternal and child health care at affordable rates for India’s lower income population. Our hospitals cater to families with household incomes between 3,000 and 7,000 rupees (~$2 - $5 USD per day), who tend to be daily wage laborers or petty business owners. LifeSpring is a 50-50 equity partnership between Hindustan Latex (HLL), a mini Ratna enterprise under India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Acumen Fund, a U.S.-based nonprofit global venture philanthropy fund.
