Fortis Hospital Mohali

Fortis Hospital Mohali is historically significant as the first hospital established by Fortis Healthcare — the facility that launched India's now-largest private hospital network in 2001. Located in Mohali, Punjab (adjacent to Chandigarh), the hospital has grown to 215+ operational beds (with installed capacity for up to 300) and operates 7 operation theatres. It runs the largest cardiac programme in North-West India and was one of the first hospitals in the region to receive JCI accreditation from the US-based Joint Commission International — considered the gold standard in international hospital certification.

Fortis Hospital Mohali offers super-specialty care across 26 medical disciplines with a strong emphasis on cardiac sciences, neurosciences, and orthopaedics. The cardiac programme encompasses interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology, adult and pediatric cardiac surgery, and cardiac rehabilitation. Other key specialties include oncology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopaedics and joint replacement, nephrology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, urology, endocrinology, obstetrics and gynaecology, neonatology, emergency medicine, and minimally invasive surgery.

Fortis Hospital Mohali features 7 modular operation theatres, a state-of-the-art cardiac catheterisation laboratory, advanced cardiac imaging suites, ICU and CCU with round-the-clock intensivist coverage, a neonatal ICU, 24-hour emergency and trauma department, advanced diagnostic imaging (3T MRI, 128-slice CT, PET-CT, digital fluoroscopy), a comprehensive blood bank, clinical laboratory, rehabilitation centre, and pharmacy. The hospital's infrastructure was designed to international standards from its founding.

Fortis Hospital Mohali is conveniently located near Chandigarh International Airport, making it accessible to international patients from the Gulf countries, UK, USA, Canada, and East Africa — many of whom have Punjabi heritage connections to the region. The hospital offers dedicated international patient coordination, medical visa invitation letters, airport transfers, and case management. Treatment costs are 60-80% lower than equivalent care in Western countries, with the added advantage of JCI-accredited quality standards.

Fortis Hospital Mohali holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation — the gold standard in international hospital quality certification, conferred by the US-based Joint Commission in recognition of the hospital's empathetic patient care programme and clinical protocols. The hospital also holds NABH accreditation from India's National Accreditation Board for Hospitals. These credentials affirm the hospital's adherence to international safety, quality, and patient-centred care standards.
