Aster Hospital Websites Unified Using Drupal 9

Aster Hospitals is a healthcare provider offering primary to quaternary care hospitals, pharmacies, digital health. They cater specially to the people in the Middle East and India.

Service Provider: Specbee

Why Drupal was chosen

Aster hospitals wanted a unified brand experience across their 8 different regional hospital websites and showcase a fresh brand identity. The design had to give them an edge over their competitors while being functional and intuitive. Site visitors had to be able to search for anything related to the hospital chain and fine-tune the results as needed.

Aster hospitals are spread across different countries and cities. They wanted data from the existing hospitals to be migrated and supported via one single platform.

Aster wanted a web application solution that could address all these pain points across all their regional websites too. Aster’s regional marketing team had to be empowered with the ability to create and update hospital pages as needed.

Drupal 9, the latest version of the CMS was used to build a customized theme. Specbee chose to build the solution on Drupal 9 as the features offered completely aligned with Aster’s business requirements.
