Fortis Escorts Heart Institute

Fortis Escorts Heart Institute is a hospital on Okhla Road in south-east Delhi, opposite Sukhdev Vihar Metro station. It is part of the Fortis Healthcare network and, as its name says, has a strong focus on heart care.

The hospital's website lists cardiac sciences with cardiac surgery and vascular surgery. It also names neurology, neurosurgery, nephrology, urology, gastroenterology and hepatobiliary sciences, oncology, organ transplant, orthopaedics, pulmonology, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, dermatology, ENT, endocrinology, internal medicine, mental health and behavioural sciences, and emergency and trauma.

The website has a medical tourism section for overseas patients. It lists help with finding a doctor, cost estimates, visa and travel assistance, hotel bookings, airport pick-up and check-in, daily email updates to your referring doctor and family, a coordinator who also interprets, a single relationship manager as your point of contact, and assistance with FRRO formalities.

Practical notes: the Metro station named in the hospital's address makes public transport an option from many parts of Delhi. The site lists a separate emergency number from the main line, so save both before you travel.
