==History==
Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS Group of Hospitals) is an Indian multi-speciality hospital chain that operates a network of hospitals across several states in southern and western India. The hospital group was founded in 2000 by cardiothoracic surgeon [[Bhaskar Rao Bollineni|Dr. Bhaskar Rao Bollineni]], who opened the first hospital in [[Nellore, Andhra Pradesh]] with approximately 200 beds.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us – KIMS Hospitals |url=https://www.kimshospitals.com/about-us/ |publisher=KIMS Hospitals |access-date=13 January 2026}}</ref> The group has subsequently expanded its network to include multiple hospitals under the KIMS Hospitals brand with a combined capacity of over 8,300 beds.<ref>{{cite web |title=KIMS Hospitals Network |url=https://www.kimshospitals.com/ |publisher=KIMS Hospitals |access-date=13 January 2026}}</ref>

In 2002, the group established another hospital in [[Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh]], and in 2004, it opened its flagship facility in [[Secunderabad, Telangana]], which has grown to a capacity of approximately 1,000 beds and serves as the headquarters of the hospital chain.<ref>{{cite web |title=Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (hospital group) |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences_(hospital_group) |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=13 January 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=KIMS Hospital at Hyderabad |url=https://www.indheal.com/hospital/kims-hospital-hyderabad |publisher=IndHeal |access-date=13 January 2026}}</ref> The group expanded further throughout the 2000s and 2010s, adding hospitals in various cities including [[Srikakulam]], [[Kondapur]], [[Ongole]], [[Visakhapatnam]], [[Anantapur]], and [[Kurnool]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (hospital group) |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishna_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences_(hospital_group) |publisher=Wikipedia |access-date=13 January 2026}}</ref>
