Fortis Hospital

Delhi NCR has quite a few multi-specialty hospitals, but Fortis Hospital in Shalimar Bagh has carved out a particular reputation in cardiac care and oncology since it opened in 2010. It’s grown into a 342-bed facility that handles everything from routine consultations to robotic surgery.

About Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh

Spread across 7.34 acres, Fortis Hospital runs as a multi-specialty center with round-the-clock emergency care. It’s NABH-accredited for both its lab services and nursing standards, and it’s picked up a strong global reputation specifically for coronary bypass surgery, interventional cardiology, and pediatric cardiac care.

Quick facts:

• Operational since 2010
• 342 beds total, with 80 dedicated to ICU
• NABH accredited
• One of the country’s earliest hospitals registered under the Green Building Rating System

Why Fortis Hospital Stands Out

There’s a fair bit that separates Fortis Hospital from a standard multi-specialty setup. For one, its cardiac program is genuinely well-regarded — coronary bypass, interventional cardiology, and even pediatric heart surgery are handled here regularly, not as occasional cases. On top of that:

• da Vinci robotic surgery system for complex, minimally invasive procedures
• Advanced radiotherapy (VERSA HD LINAC) for cancer treatment
• 1.5 Tesla Wide Bore MRI and 128-slice dual-energy CT
• Dedicated support for international patients — visa help, interpreters, personalized stay assistance

Specialties & Treatments Offered

The departments at Fortis Hospital cover a broad range:

• Cardiology, cardiac surgery, and pediatric cardiology
• Oncology and surgical oncology (including HIPEC surgery)
• Neurology and neurosurgery
• Orthopedics and spine surgery
• Gastroenterology
• Robotic surgery across specialties
• Gynecology, nephrology, and general surgery

Infrastructure & Technology

This is where Fortis Hospital really pulls ahead of a lot of comparable hospitals. Beyond the robotic surgery system and advanced imaging, the cancer care unit runs brachytherapy, PET-CT, and day-care chemotherapy services. For neurosurgery, there’s a neuronavigation system and a Kenevo microscope, and cardiac procedures are supported by a 3D Endovision setup and a combo cath lab. It’s a lot of specialized equipment concentrated in one facility, which is part of why complex cases get referred here.

Doctors & Medical Team

The specialist team at Fortis Hospital includes some genuinely senior names — neurosurgeons with 30+ years of practice, alongside experienced rheumatologists, oncologists, and cardiac surgeons. Combined with a trained nursing and technical staff, the hospital runs a multidisciplinary approach rather than treating departments in isolation.

Getting Treated at Fortis Hospital

Fortis Hospital also allows online appointment booking, and for patients coming from outside India, there’s structured support — visa assistance, interpreters, and personalized care coordination throughout the stay. If you’re considering treatment here, it’s worth booking a consultation early so the right specialist and treatment plan can be worked out for your case.
