About Fortis Hospital Ludhiana

Fortis Hospital Ludhiana is part of the Fortis Healthcare network and serves as one of Punjab's leading private tertiary care hospitals. Ludhiana, the largest city in Punjab and a major industrial and commercial hub, is home to a substantial NRI population — many of whom return to India for medical care. Fortis Hospital Ludhiana caters to this demand with advanced multi-specialty facilities offering care comparable to international standards. The hospital is a key healthcare facility for patients across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir.

Medical Specialties

Fortis Hospital Ludhiana offers cardiac sciences (cardiology, cardiac surgery), oncology, orthopaedics and joint replacement, neurosciences (neurology and neurosurgery), gastroenterology, nephrology, pulmonology, urology, endocrinology, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, and 24-hour emergency and trauma care. As part of the Fortis network, the hospital provides access to the group's collective clinical expertise and inter-hospital referral pathways.

Facilities and Infrastructure

The hospital features advanced diagnostic imaging, a cardiac catheterisation lab, modular operation theatres, ICU and CCU facilities, a neonatal ICU, 24-hour emergency department, blood bank, clinical laboratory, and an onsite pharmacy. Patient accommodation includes private, semi-private, and general ward options. The hospital's technology and infrastructure are aligned with Fortis Healthcare's standardised protocols to ensure consistent, high-quality care.

International Patient Services and NRI Care

Fortis Hospital Ludhiana is particularly well positioned to serve the large diaspora of Punjabi NRIs returning from the UK, Canada, USA, and Australia for medical treatment. Ludhiana is well connected by Sahnewal Airport (Ludhiana Airport) and is about 3 hours from Chandigarh and Amritsar airports. The hospital's international patient services team assists with medical visa support, case coordination, and cost estimates. Medical care costs are 60-80% lower than comparable treatment in Western countries.
