Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi said that investors should subscribe to this IPO for long-term gains. 

"There are chances of some listing gains but considering the sentiments of Indian share markets and uncertainties in the global market. This is why one should focus on long-term gains. I usually suggest for short-term listing gains only when I see a clear upside of 20-25 per cent," Singhvi said.

Singhvi said that Global Health, backed by private equity investors such as Carlyle Group and Temasek, is known for providing the best health services. It operates a network of five hospitals under the 'Medanta' brand in Gurugram, Indore, Ranchi, Lucknow and Patna. In addition, one hospital is under construction in Noida. 

"Also, the financials of the company is very strong and the cash flow is positive. After this IPO, the company will be debt free. This is one of the sectors that has very strong growth prospects in the future. However, there are some negatives as well. One of them is the attrition rate of doctors is a bit high. It is 32 per cent for doctors and 50 per cent for staff," he added.

The Zee Business Managing Editor also said that the valuation of the company is reasonable so one can invest for long-term profits. 

The Indian healthcare delivery industry is estimated to post a 13-15 per cent CAGR between FY21 and FY26 driven by pent-up demand, strong fundamentals, increasing affordability and Ayushman Bharat Yojana, according to a Crisil report.
