Narayana Health Bengaluru — Affordable Cardiac Surgery & Cancer Care India
About The Hospital
Narayana Health
258/A Bommasandra Industrial Area, Anekal Taluk, Bengaluru 560 099, Karnataka, India
Narayana Health, Bengaluru — the flagship of the Narayana Health Group founded by world-renowned cardiac surgeon Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty — represents perhaps the most compelling example in the world of high-quality healthcare delivered at genuinely affordable prices. Established in 2000 at Bommasandra in southern Bengaluru, Narayana Health has grown to become a 1,000-bed quaternary care hospital and the anchor institution of a 23-hospital network spanning India and internationally.
Dr. Devi Shetty, Narayana Health's founder and chairman, is a cardiac surgeon who worked with Mother Teresa in Kolkata before dedicating his career to making cardiac surgery — one of medicine's most expensive interventions — accessible to all. Narayana Health's model of high-volume, process-optimised surgery achieves economies of scale that allow it to perform open heart surgery at costs of approximately $1,500–$2,000 for its poorest patients, while maintaining clinical outcomes that equal the world's leading cardiac centres. The cardiac surgery programme — performing over 35 cardiac surgeries per day — has the highest single-site cardiac surgery volume in the world.
The paediatric cardiac surgery programme at Narayana Health is internationally recognised, performing over 3,000 paediatric cardiac surgeries annually with outcomes among the best globally. Children born with complex congenital heart defects travel to Narayana Health from across South Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia for interventions that would cost $100,000+ in Western countries at a fraction of that cost. The hospital holds NABH accreditation and its clinical outcomes are submitted to international registries for transparent benchmarking.
Beyond cardiac care, Narayana Health Bengaluru offers comprehensive oncology (including bone marrow transplantation), renal sciences (including kidney transplantation), orthopaedics, neurosciences, and general surgery. The hospital's telemedicine programme — among the most active in India — connects patients from remote areas with Narayana Health specialists, and an international telemedicine offering allows pre-travel consultations for international patients before their arrival in Bengaluru.
