Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute Kolkata – Eastern India's Leading Urology & Renal Centre

Fortis Hospital and Kidney Institute in Kolkata, established in 1999, holds a unique and venerable place in eastern Indian healthcare. It was founded in the spirit of the legacy laid by Mother Teresa — the hospital's foundation stone was laid in her honour — and has since grown into one of India's most respected specialist centres for urology, nephrology and kidney transplantation.

As an extended branch of Fortis Healthcare, the Kolkata Kidney Institute operates 60 beds with an intensity of specialist focus that enables it to consistently deliver outcomes comparable to much larger centres. Located on Rash Behari Avenue Connector in prime South Kolkata, the hospital is the primary referral destination for complex renal and urological cases across West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand and North-Eastern states.

The kidney transplant programme at Fortis Kolkata is its flagship. The transplant team has performed hundreds of living-donor and deceased-donor kidney transplants since the programme's inception, achieving one-year graft survival rates that exceed national benchmarks. Post-transplant care — immunosuppression management, infection monitoring, renal function surveillance — is conducted through a dedicated clinic with scheduled follow-up for all transplant patients.

Urology services encompass the complete range from minimally invasive endoscopic stone treatment (ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy) to complex reconstructive urology, laparoscopic nephrectomy, radical and partial prostatectomy, and management of transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary tract.

NABH and NABL accreditations certify the hospital's quality framework. For patients from Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Gulf who require kidney transplant or complex urological management, Fortis Kidney Institute Kolkata offers a combination of specialist expertise, competitive costs and the cultural accessibility of eastern India.
