Space Hospitals Ltd, a Chennai-based telemedicine service provider, plans to add 126 telemedicine centres, 38 satellite medical centres and 9 regional associate hospitals in Tamil Nadu by the end of March 2007.

Mr A. Sivakumaran, Chief Financial Officer, Space Hospitals, said that the company which was incorporated in August 2005, planned to invest Rs 8 crore in hardware, software, medical equipment and connectivity. The funding would come from venture capital and equity from promoters.
