Founded in 2001 with its first hospital in Mohali, Fortis has grown rapidly to become one of the most trusted private healthcare brands in India. The network includes the Fortis-Escorts cardiac program, one of the largest cardiac networks in the world. Fortis Healthcare's corporate headquarters is in New Delhi, and the group holds JCI accreditation at several facilities.

Across its hospital network, Fortis Healthcare offers excellence in 26+ medical specialties including cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology (Fortis-Escorts cardiac network), oncology (medical, surgical, and radiation), organ transplant (liver, kidney, bone marrow), neurosciences, orthopaedics and joint replacement, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, renal sciences, gastroenterology and GI surgery, mother and child care (Fortis La Femme), genito-urinary medicine, emergency medicine, and ICU care. The network's cardiac program handles among the highest volumes of heart procedures in Asia.

Fortis Healthcare's flagship hospitals feature modular operating theatres, dedicated cardiac catheterisation labs, advanced oncology suites with LINAC and PET-CT, transplant surgery suites, level-III ICUs, neonatal ICUs, 24-hour emergency departments, advanced imaging (3T MRI, 128-slice CT), and an IT-connected patient information system allowing records to be accessed across the network. All major Fortis hospitals have onsite pharmacies, blood banks, and rehabilitation services.

Fortis Healthcare operates a dedicated International Patient Service Centre (IPSC) in New Delhi that coordinates care for patients from across the globe. Services include online pre-consultation, medical visa letters, airport transfers, accommodation booking, local transport, and dedicated case managers. The Fortis network has received international patients from over 40 countries. Medical costs within Fortis hospitals are 60-80% lower than comparable facilities in Western countries.

Fortis facilities also hold NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) accreditation. The group adheres to strict international clinical protocols in patient handling, operation theatre management, ICU care, and emergency services. Individual hospital accreditation status should be verified directly.
