Artemis Medicare Services Limited has appointed Girdhar Jessaram Gyani as an Independent Director, with the appointment approved at the company’s 22nd Annual General Meeting held on July 31, 2026. The new director’s term is three years, commencing August 1, 2026 and expiring July 31, 2029. The company noted that Gyani is not debarred from holding the office of director by SEBI or any other authority, aligning governance with the board’s intent to strengthen oversight and strategic guidance.
Gyani brings a deep well of experience from India’s healthcare quality and policy landscape.

Industry observers see the appointment as a signal of Artemis Medicare’s emphasis on governance and quality as it expands in a competitive healthcare market. Gyani’s track record at AHPI and his role in shaping hospital accreditation frameworks position him to contribute to strategic risk management, stakeholder alignment, and the ongoing push toward higher care standards within Artemis’ expanding footprint. While the AGM results confirmed the vote, the leadership change underscores Artemis’ commitment to integrating seasoned governance with clinical and operational excellence.
