Spectrum Healthcare, promoted by Dr. Viral Shah, started in September, 1990. The idea was set up with the object of providing multi-disciplinary healthcare services.

The promoter perceived a need to set up a centre to provide comprehensive diagnostic care, since no such facility existed in the city at the time. This was confirmed by an ORG–MARG study and the promoter set up a centre, using the brand name, Spectrum Healthcare, in 1995.

The centre conducts comprehensive health check-ups, in addition to pre-employment and insurance screening tests.

First Healthcare Pvt. Ltd, promoted by Dr. Viral Shah, is an organization dedicated entirely to providing health care plans. Branded as “Spectrum Healthcare”, it seeks to compete directly with the schemes offered by leading hospitals by offering a luxurious ambiance and a highly personalized service.

The promoters have zeroed in on the need for a preventive healthcare and early detection of diseases among busy professionals and entrepreneurs and Spectrum Healthcare was born in February, 1995, after a MARG study, which indicated that people, particularly high-profile executives, felt uncomfortable, visiting hospitals for routine check-ups. The not-too-efficient and less personalized service geared to sickness rather than health, put them off. The demand was for efficiency coupled with personalized attention and flexibility.

Spectrum is staffed by over forty five medical and paramedical experts, with specialized training in preventive and curative medicine, cardiology, internal medicine, radiology, sonography, mammography, pathology, clinical pathology, ophthalmology, gynaecology, ear-nose-throat, diet & nutrition and dentistry. It uses state-of-the-art equipment capable of detecting potentially serious health problems.

The services offered are annual health check-ups, pre-employment and pre-operative medical check-ups, total eye, dental and gynaecological check-ups, health insurance check-ups and cardiac follow-ups. Besides these, the doctors offer lifestyle modification advice, diet and nutrition consultation and corporate health care policy advice.

A wide range of individual tests is also offered at "good value for money" fees - Spectrum has now consolidated a regular client base, for these tests.
