NURA, an advanced diagnostic venture between Fujifilm Healthcare and Dr Kutty’s Healthcare, has expanded its footprint in South India with the launch of its preventive health screening centre in Chennai.
Located in Egmore, the facility marks NURA’s sixth centre in India and reflects the company’s continued focus on expanding access to advanced preventive healthcare and early disease detection services.
The facility was inaugurated in the presence of senior leadership from Fujifilm, NURA and Dr Kutty’s Healthcare, including Mr Jun Higuchi (Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Medical Division, FUJIFILM Corporation), Mr Nobuo Matsunobe (Managing Director, NURA), Mr Koji Wada (Managing Director, FUJIFILM India) and Mr Masaharu Morita (Founder & Programme Director, NURA).
The Chennai launch marks an important milestone in NURA’s India expansion journey. Designed to offer AI-enabled full-body health screenings, the Chennai facility integrates advanced imaging and diagnostic technologies to support faster detection of diseases at early stages. The centre has the capacity to screen up to 40 guests per day.
Commenting on the development, Mr Masaharu Morita, Founder and Programme Director, NURA, said: “India continues to be a key country in NURA’s global expansion journey, and Chennai marks an important step in strengthening our South India presence. With growing awareness around lifestyle diseases and preventive healthcare, there is a rising need for advanced screening infrastructure. Through our AI-driven screening ecosystem and Fujifilm’s healthcare innovations, we aim to deliver efficient and accessible preventive healthcare services.”
Following the Chennai launch, NURA continues to pursue an ambitious expansion roadmap focused on strengthening its presence across Tier 1, Tier 2, and emerging urban areas in India. Internationally, the company is also exploring opportunities across the Middle East and Africa, South Asia and ASEAN as part of its larger vision to establish a strong and accessible global preventive healthcare network.
