City residents need not wait long for their turn in a hospital or visit a limited-services standalone medical clinic any longer for their overall outpatient healthcare requirements.

A new structured premium multi-speciality outpatient healthcare facility has opened at a central location in the city, providing quick and easy access to quality post graduate doctors in more than a dozen specialities, lab tests in tie-up with the most reputed laboratory chain in the country Agilus (earlier SRL), small interventions and procedures and vaccination for children and adults, all under one roof.
The ONE – Chandigarh, located on the Madhya Marg in Sector 8 (SCO 112, Sector 8C, Madhya Marg) promises to redefine how outpatient care is delivered in non-metro cities and beyond, comprehensively and with compassion.
Brainchild of Dr Vishal Bhambri
A brainchild of well-known physician Dr Vishal Bhambri, who has served for nearly quarter of a century in a corporate hospital and clinical environments, has come up with this new concept to bridge the wide gap, which he felt existed for patients between a multi-speciality hospital and a standalone medical clinic in non-metro cities.

The new vertical created in healthcare services has retained all the positives of a corporate hospital, including pleasing ambience, smartly dressed and friendly staff, OPDs manned by the best doctors in their respective specialities, quality medical tests, etc.
Where the facility adds value to a patient is its central location with adequate parking facility, less waiting time, personalised attention and care by doctors and support staff, comfortable seating right in front of the concerned doctor’s cabin and complimentary welcome tea-coffee.
Sharing his thoughts with your own news portal LifeInChandigarh.com, Dr Bhambri, who has worked with Fortis Hospital as well as Apollo Clinics, along with running his own standalone clinic, says “the idea is to provide the best possible multi-speciality OPDs, manned by senior consultants, medical tests, minor interventions/procedures and vaccination facilities to patients all under one roof at a convenient central location, and at a decent price. And, at the same time make sure that the overall healthcare experience of patients is comprehensive, warm, compassionate and satisfying.”
Ethical practice & quality time
The multi-speciality healthcare facility promises to adhere to ethical practices like, if required, referring patients for admission or surgeries only to a hospital of their choice. It will also not empanel itself with any health insurance companies or government organisations.
Another promise is of doctors spending enough quality time with the patients to hear out their medical issues before prescribing the best possible treatments without any ulterior considerations.
‘The ONE – Chandigarh’ in Sector 8 Madhya Marg is the first structured premium multi-speciality outpatient facility to be opened by VH Medical Services, a private limited company specially floated for this purpose, of which Dr Bhambri is one of the two partners. Gradually, more ‘The ONE’ centres are planned to be opened at central locations in non-metro cities in the region.
Specialities at ‘The ONE’
Experienced post graduate doctors are available for consultation in the following specialities:
* Internal Medicine
* Gynaecology & Obstetrics, Endoscopic Surgery
* Urology & Andrology
* ENT
* Orthopaedics
* Paediatrics
* Psychiatry & De-addiction
* Psychology
* Dentistry
* Dietetics & Weight Loss
* Inpatient/Critical Care Backup
Explaining how the concept of ‘The ONE’ came about, Dr Bhambri says, “During my long clinical practice, I realised that a big gap existed for patients between multi-speciality hospitals and standalone medical clinics. The idea of a structured premium multi-speciality outpatient facility had been germinating in my mind for quite some time now, but it started taking practical shape in the last about five years.”
The name ‘The ONE’, he says “is inspired by ‘Ik Onkar’ which embodies the belief in One God and the equality of all people. “We intend to cater to the around 75% of the healthcare-seeking patients who do not require hospital admission, providing them comprehensive and compassionate care, which I am very passionate about.”
