Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals

Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals is a 710-bed multi-specialty tertiary care hospital located in Sarita Vihar, Mathura Road, New Delhi. Established in 1995 as a joint venture between Apollo Hospitals Enterprise and the Government of Delhi, it was one of the first internationally accredited hospitals in South Asia — receiving JCI accreditation in 2005 as the first hospital in India to earn this distinction. The hospital serves as one of the most important medical referral centers for North India and neighboring countries including Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Central Asian republics, and Africa. Spread over 15 acres with 600,000 square feet of built-up area, the campus is one of the largest in the Apollo network. Indraprastha Apollo offers over 50 specialties and is particularly renowned for organ transplantation (liver, kidney, heart, lung, pancreas, bone marrow), cardiac surgery, advanced oncology, neurosciences, and its Level 1 trauma center. The hospital operates under NABH, JCI, and NABL accreditations, reflecting the highest standards of clinical quality, patient safety, and laboratory excellence. The hospital has expanded significantly since opening and now holds an expansion-ready capacity of 1,000 beds. As one of India's most internationally recognized tertiary care hospitals, Indraprastha Apollo Delhi has treated patients from over 130 countries and performs more than 100,000 surgeries annually. It was recognized as the first internationally accredited hospital in India (JCI 2005) and continues to be a landmark institution in the Apollo network.

Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI), approximately 12 km from the hospital, serves direct international flights to the US, UK, Europe, the Gulf, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The hospital's strong relationships with embassies in Delhi facilitate expedited medical visa processing for international patients. The hospital's location at Sarita Vihar on Mathura Road provides easy access from the Delhi-Agra expressway, making it convenient for patients arriving from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (approximately 12 km). Multiple hospitals in the Apollo network in Delhi NCR provide referral pathways and continuity of care for patients returning to India for follow-up visits.

Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals holds three major accreditations: JCI (Joint Commission International), NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers), and NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories). The hospital achieved JCI accreditation in 2005 — making it the first internationally accredited hospital in India and South Asia. JCI accreditation requires hospitals to meet the most rigorous international standards for patient safety, clinical governance, infection prevention, medication management, and continuous quality improvement. NABH accreditation assures compliance with India's national hospital quality standards. NABL accreditation covers the hospital's clinical laboratories, ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and traceability of all diagnostic test results. This triple accreditation — JCI, NABH, and NABL — places Indraprastha Apollo among the most certified hospitals in the country.
