Ahmedabad May 9 The Mumbai-based Metropolis Health Services (India) Ltd, leading corporate chain of diagnostic centres, has entered into a joint venture with Sanket Diagnostics Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad, to form Sanket Metropolis to provide a gamut of healthcare services.

One-stop shop

Announcing the tie-up, the Metropolis Founder-Chairman, Dr Sushil Shah, and the Sanket Managing Director, Dr Ketan Patel, told a news conference that the endeavour was aimed at providing a one-stop shop to medical and healthcare needs. The facility would provide home-end services as well.
