Apollo Hospital, Delhi

Apollo Hospital Delhi is one of India's most established multi-specialty hospitals, with decades of experience treating patients from across the world. NABH accredited and staffed by internationally trained specialists, Apollo has built a strong reputation in cardiac surgery, oncology, and critical care. International patients choose Apollo for its proven clinical outcomes, structured support services, and costs that run 70–80% below equivalent care in Western countries.

Treatments supported here

Apollo Hospital Delhi is how most patients refer to the group's presence in the capital, which centres on the large campus at Sarita Vihar on Mathura Road in the south-east of the city, supported by smaller Apollo clinics and specialty centres across the National Capital Region. This page is about choosing and using it sensibly if you are travelling from Bengaluru.

What Apollo in Delhi actually offers

The main campus is a quaternary hospital, meaning it takes on the complex end of medicine rather than routine admissions. Liver, kidney and heart transplant programmes operate there, along with comprehensive cancer care including radiation therapy and bone marrow transplant, complex cardiac surgery and intervention, neurosurgery including epilepsy and skull base work, robotic urology and high-volume orthopaedics.

For routine tertiary work, an angioplasty, a knee replacement, a gallbladder operation, a hysterectomy, dialysis or chemotherapy cycles, you do not necessarily need a quaternary hospital, and other Delhi hospitals may be closer and cheaper. Being honest about which category your case falls into is the single most useful thing you can do before choosing.

Where Apollo is genuinely hard to substitute

Transplant. The number of Indian hospitals running liver, kidney and heart transplant programmes with the intensive care and infection control to support them is small, and Apollo Delhi is one of them.

Complex cancer, particularly where surgery, radiation and systemic therapy must be sequenced by a tumour board, and where pathology needs re-reading and molecular testing.

Complex neurosurgery, including epilepsy surgery and skull base tumours, where volume and specialist intensive care matter more than in almost any other field.

Common questions

Where is Apollo Hospital Delhi?

The main campus is at Sarita Vihar on Mathura Road in south-east Delhi, roughly forty five minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport in normal traffic, with smaller Apollo clinics elsewhere in the region.

Do I need a quaternary hospital for my problem?

Not always. For routine tertiary work such as angioplasty, joint replacement or gallbladder surgery, other Delhi hospitals may be closer and cheaper. Quaternary hospitals matter most for transplant, complex cancer and complex neurosurgery.

What is Apollo Delhi hardest to substitute for?

Organ transplant, complex cancer requiring coordinated surgery, radiation and systemic therapy, and complex neurosurgery such as epilepsy and skull base surgery, where volume and specialist intensive care are decisive.

Are transplants performed here?

Yes. Liver, kidney and heart transplant programmes operate at the main campus. Living related transplant requires proof of relationship, embassy attestation for foreign nationals, and authorisation committee clearance.

How do I start from Bengaluru?

Send the diagnosis with imaging on disc, pathology and recent blood results to the international patient service and ask for a written plan, a named consultant and an itemised estimate before booking travel.

What does treatment cost?

Apollo sits at the upper end of the Indian private market, though well below equivalent care in high-income countries. Ask for an itemised estimate and compare it against other tertiary hospitals in the region.

Are international patients well supported?

Yes, this is among the most experienced international patient services in India, covering appointments, estimates, visa invitation letters, airport transfer, accommodation guidance and interpreters.

Is bone marrow transplant available?

Yes, autologous and allogeneic transplant for blood cancers, thalassaemia and marrow failure. Ask about annual volume, unrelated donor registry access and the isolation facilities used.

Is radiation therapy on site?

Yes, radiation therapy is provided alongside medical and surgical oncology at the main campus, so most cancer patients can complete the main phases of treatment in one place.

How long should I plan to stay in Delhi?

About two weeks for routine surgery, three to four weeks after cardiac surgery, several consecutive weeks for radiation therapy, and months for transplant. Keep accommodation extendable rather than fixed.

Where should family stay?

Sarita Vihar, Jasola and Kalkaji have hotels, guest houses and serviced apartments within a short drive of the campus, which avoids a long daily crossing of Delhi.

What records should I take home to Bengaluru?

Discharge summary, operation note, histopathology and molecular reports, imaging on disc, exact drug and dose records, implant or valve cards, and a written follow-up schedule with a named local doctor who has agreed to it.
