AMRI Hospitals

AMRI Hospitals (Advanced Medical Research Institute) is one of West Bengal's most established and trusted private hospital groups, with major campuses at Salt Lake (Sector V), Dhakuria, and Mukundapur in Kolkata. Founded in 1988, AMRI has grown over more than three decades to become a key institution in eastern India's healthcare landscape, offering tertiary and quaternary care across cardiology, orthopaedics, neurosciences, oncology, gastroenterology, and emergency medicine. The combined bed capacity across AMRI's Kolkata campuses exceeds 700 beds, with each campus offering a comprehensive range of inpatient and outpatient services. AMRI Hospitals attracts patients from across West Bengal, the northeast states (Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim), and from neighbouring countries including Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. The hospital's NABH accreditation and experienced faculty of consultants make it a preferred destination for complex surgical and medical referrals from the eastern region. AMRI also has an active cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology programme, robust emergency and trauma services, and a cancer care division, reflecting its evolution from a regional hospital into a comprehensive tertiary care institution.

AMRI Hospitals offers comprehensive tertiary care across cardiology and cardiac surgery (coronary angioplasty, CABG, valve surgery, electrophysiology, and pacemaker implantation), neurology and neurosurgery (stroke management, brain tumour surgery, spine surgery, epilepsy management), orthopaedics and joint replacement (total knee replacement, total hip replacement, revision arthroplasty, arthroscopy), oncology (surgical, medical, and radiation therapy), gastroenterology and hepatology, nephrology and renal transplant, urology, pulmonology and chest medicine, endocrinology and diabetology, rheumatology, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and neonatology, ENT, ophthalmology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and 24-hour emergency and trauma medicine. Bone marrow transplantation for haematological malignancies, minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, bariatric surgery, pain management and palliative care, and dermatology and cosmetology round out the specialty portfolio. Geriatric medicine services address the complex multi-morbidity of elderly patients, and a dedicated palliative care programme provides symptom management and psychological support for patients with terminal illness and their families.

AMRI Hospitals' campuses are equipped with modular operation theatres, cardiac catheterisation laboratories, and minimally invasive surgery suites. ICU complexes cover cardiac ICU, medical ICU, surgical ICU, and level III NICU. Advanced imaging includes 3-Tesla MRI, 128-slice CT scanner, PET-CT, digital mammography, and nuclear medicine. The NABL-accredited pathology laboratory and blood bank provide 24-hour services. Endoscopy suites, dialysis units, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and a radiation oncology unit with linear accelerator (LINAC) are operational at major campuses. A 24-hour pharmacy and emergency department are present at each campus. Digital health systems and electronic medical records support coordinated care across AMRI's network. Digital health infrastructure including an EMR system and tele-radiology enables coordinated care across AMRI's network and facilitates subspecialty consultation for patients at peripheral facilities.

AMRI Hospitals is the largest provider of medical care to patients from Bangladesh in West Bengal, along with significant patient flows from Nepal, Bhutan, and northeast India. A dedicated international patient services team assists with remote consultation, case review by AMRI specialists, cost estimation, medical visa documentation letters, airport transfers, and accommodation arrangements. Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport connects the city to Dhaka (Bangladesh), Kathmandu (Nepal), and other regional hubs. English and Bengali are spoken widely by hospital staff, with Hindi also available. The hospital can facilitate Bangladeshi and Nepalese health insurance documentation where applicable. Telemedicine consultation services allow patients from Bangladesh and other countries to have their cases reviewed by AMRI specialists before travelling to Kolkata, ensuring efficient use of time during the India visit.

AMRI Hospitals holds NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers) accreditation across its major campuses, confirming compliance with national standards for clinical quality, patient safety, infection control, and hospital management. The clinical laboratory is NABL accredited for pathology and microbiology testing. AMRI is empanelled with major Indian insurance companies, TPAs, CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme), and the West Bengal government health schemes. The hospital participates in the Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY scheme for eligible beneficiaries. Regular internal quality audits and NABH surveillance accreditation reviews are conducted.
