Healthscribe is now Spheris India

India's largest medical transcription company Healthscribe has been rechristened Spheris India Pvt Ltd so as to formalise the takeover late last year in an all-cash deal.

Spheris, the $200 million medical transcription major headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, USA, as a result of the takeover, became the second largest medical transcription technology and outsourcing services firm in the world with over 5,000 employees in the US.

Suresh Nair, CEO and managing director of erstwhile Healthscribe will lead Spheris' business in India. It has set up a 300-seat centre at Coimbatore.
