Hospitals in Mumbai

Travel time can decide how comfortable your treatment is. Hospitals in Mumbai are listed across areas such as Hill Side Avenue, Pirojsha Nagar, Marine lines and A wing. For surgery that needs several visits, pick a hospital you can reach without a long commute.

Compare doctor count and bed capacity together. A hospital with many doctors but few beds may have long waits for admission, while a large bed count with fewer specialists in your area of need may not help. Look at whether the hospital lists your speciality, such as orthopaedics for knee replacement, or laparoscopy for hernia and gallbladder surgery.

Check whether the hospital works with your health insurer for cashless treatment, and ask for a written estimate that lists room type, surgeon fee, implant or consumable costs and expected stay.

Hospitals in Mumbai list departments for orthopaedics, gynaecology, urology, ophthalmology, dentistry, gastrointestinal surgery, spine surgery, cardiac surgery and neurosurgery, among others.

Short-stay procedures such as knee arthroscopy, ovarian cystectomy or ESWL come under these specialities, and usually let you go home the same day or the next.

For complex surgery, Mumbai's hospitals list neurosurgery at 488 hospitals (including S.L. Raheja Hospital - A Fortis Associate), transplant surgery at 187 hospitals (including Jaslok Hospital) and cardiac surgery at 489 hospitals (including Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital).

Not every hospital performs every procedure, and not every doctor shown performs every surgery under their speciality — confirm directly with the hospital or during your consultation before you request an appointment.
