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.

As part of the Fortis network, the hospital provides access to the group's collective clinical expertise and inter-hospital referral pathways.

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

The hospital's international patient services team assists with medical visa support, case coordination, and cost estimates.
