Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital

Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital is a 244-bed quaternary care super-specialty hospital located in Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Mumbai-400076, Maharashtra. Established in 2004 as part of the Hiranandani Group's philanthropic healthcare initiative, the hospital was founded in the memory of the late Dr. L.H. Hiranandani — a distinguished ENT surgeon and humanitarian. The hospital is a Public Charitable Trust, reflecting a commitment to quality healthcare that is accessible and patient-centred rather than purely commercially driven.

In 2007, the hospital became the first hospital in Western India to receive NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) accreditation — a landmark achievement that signalled its commitment to international-grade patient safety and clinical quality standards from its early years of operation. The hospital has since maintained both NABH accreditation for hospital quality and NABL accreditation for its clinical laboratory, making it one of Mumbai's most credentialed healthcare institutions. Located in the thriving Hiranandani Gardens township in Powai, the hospital serves patients from across Mumbai's eastern and central suburbs and has established itself as a quaternary care referral centre for complex and high-acuity cases from across Maharashtra. Established as a Public Charitable Trust, Hiranandani Hospital's governance structure ensures that patient welfare and clinical quality remain primary objectives, distinguishing it from purely profit-driven healthcare institutions. The Trust's philanthropic mandate supports a commitment to accessible, high-quality care across patient demographics.

Hiranandani Hospital offers a comprehensive range of tertiary and quaternary care specialties. Cardiac Sciences is a flagship department, encompassing both non-invasive and invasive cardiology (angiography, angioplasty, stenting, TAVI for structural heart disease), electrophysiology and arrhythmia management, and cardiac surgery including coronary artery bypass grafting and valve procedures. The hospital is recognized for its expertise in interventional cardiology.

Orthopaedics is another major strength, with services covering total knee and hip replacement (including robotic-assisted procedures), arthroscopy, sports injury management, spine surgery, and complex fracture management. Oncology services span medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology with a patient-centered approach to cancer care. Nephrology and Kidney Transplant — including dialysis services, chronic kidney disease management, and living and cadaver donor kidney transplantation — is a key specialty. Neurology and Neurosurgery handle brain, spine, and peripheral nervous system conditions. Additional specialties include Gastroenterology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Pulmonology, Paediatrics, Rheumatology, and Dermatology. Specialty clinics include a Fatty Liver Clinic, Diabetic Foot Clinic, Vertigo Clinic, and High-Risk Pregnancy Clinic.

Hiranandani Hospital operates 244 beds across general wards, private and semi-private rooms, and intensive care units. The hospital's ICU infrastructure includes Cardiac ICU (CICU), Medical ICU, Surgical ICU, and Neonatal ICU (NICU) with round-the-clock critical care physician coverage. Multiple modern operation theatres support cardiac, orthopaedic, neurological, general surgical, and gynaecological procedures with full anaesthesia monitoring.

The hospital is equipped with advanced medical imaging: MRI, CT scanner, digital X-ray, echocardiography (including 3D echo), Doppler ultrasound, and endoscopy suite for gastrointestinal procedures. A robotic surgery platform enables minimally invasive procedures across orthopaedic, urological, and general surgical disciplines. The NABL-accredited clinical laboratory offers a comprehensive test menu with rapid turnaround for inpatient cases. The hospital's blood bank provides cross-matched blood and components for surgical patients. An onsite pharmacy ensures 24-hour medication access. Patient education materials, discharge counselling, and structured follow-up protocols support continuity of care post-hospitalisation. Pre-operative assessment clinics, daycare surgical units, and structured patient discharge protocols with home care instructions and follow-up scheduling support quality management across the entire patient care episode, from pre-admission planning to post-discharge recovery.

Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital is situated approximately 12 km from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai — one of India's busiest international airports with direct connections to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, and East Africa. The proximity to the airport, combined with the hospital's quaternary care capabilities, makes it a viable destination for international patients seeking planned surgical procedures, complex medical management, or second opinions from Mumbai's leading specialists.

The hospital serves international patients and NRIs from across the globe, particularly for cardiac procedures, joint replacement, oncology treatment, kidney transplantation, and neurosurgery. Treatment costs at Hiranandani Hospital are 60–80% lower than equivalent care in Western countries. The hospital can assist with medical visa support letters, appointment scheduling, and treatment cost estimates for international patients. English is the primary language of international patient communication. The Powai neighbourhood offers excellent accommodation options including business hotels and serviced apartments suitable for patients and accompanying family members during extended treatment stays.

Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital holds NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) accreditation — India's highest hospital quality certification — as well as NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation for its clinical diagnostic laboratory. The hospital made history in 2007 by becoming the first hospital in Western India to achieve NABH accreditation, demonstrating its early and sustained commitment to patient safety and clinical governance.

NABH accreditation covers patient rights, care planning, medication management, infection prevention and control, quality improvement, and staff qualifications — evaluated through rigorous on-site assessment by NABH surveyors. NABL accreditation for the laboratory ensures that diagnostic test results are accurate, reproducible, and traceable to international reference standards. The hospital operates as a Public Charitable Trust, with its governance structure and public accountability obligations adding an additional layer of transparency and mission alignment. Quality improvement activities are ongoing, with regular internal audits, clinical outcome monitoring, and patient experience surveys contributing to continuous service improvement.
