Apollo Hospitals, Bannerghatta Road

Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta Road is the Apollo tertiary unit in south Bengaluru. See its treatments and how to plan a visit from Bengaluru.

Treatments supported here

Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta Road is the group's principal Bengaluru unit, on Bannerghatta Road in the south of the city near Jayanagar and JP Nagar. It is a full tertiary hospital with cardiac catheterisation laboratories, cardiac and neurosurgical theatres, oncology including radiation therapy, transplant services and a large intensive care footprint.

If you are coming from Bengaluru, note where this sits in the city. Bannerghatta Road runs south from central Bengaluru, so the hospital is convenient for the southern half of the city but a long journey from Kempegowda International Airport in the north. Plan the arrival day accordingly and stay on the southern side.

Why patients choose Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta Road

The combination of Apollo's international patient systems with Bengaluru's advantages is the practical argument. The group has handled foreign patients for decades, so estimates, visa letters, interpreters and coordination are established, while Bengaluru itself is cheaper than Delhi or Mumbai for equivalent treatment and easier for English-speaking visitors.

Clinically, cardiac sciences, oncology, orthopaedics and joint replacement, neurosciences, nephrology and urology including kidney transplant, and gastroenterology carry most of the caseload, with obstetrics and paediatrics alongside.

For the most specialised work, ask whether this unit or another Apollo campus performs more of your specific operation. The group is large enough that the answer sometimes points elsewhere, and a hospital that tells you so is being straight with you.

What to settle before admission

Confirm the consultant by name, their annual volume of your specific operation at this unit, and who covers in their absence. Ask whether a consultant intensivist is present overnight. On the estimate, check the room category, the assumed intensive care days and the daily rate beyond them, whether implants and pre-admission tests are included, and what a complication would add.

Common questions

Where is Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta Road?

On Bannerghatta Road in south Bengaluru, near Jayanagar and JP Nagar. It is a long drive from Kempegowda International Airport, which is on the northern side of the city.

What are the main specialties here?

Cardiac sciences and cardiac surgery, oncology with radiation therapy, orthopaedics and joint replacement, neurosciences, nephrology and urology including kidney transplant, gastroenterology, obstetrics and paediatrics.

Should I choose this unit or another Apollo campus?

For routine tertiary work, the unit nearest to where you can stay. For highly specialised procedures, ask which Apollo campus performs the most of your specific operation, and be prepared to travel further.

Is treatment cheaper in Bengaluru than Delhi or Mumbai?

Usually somewhat, for equivalent procedures, and accommodation costs for an accompanying family member are often lower. Compare written itemised estimates rather than headline figures.

How do I get an estimate from Bengaluru?

Send the diagnosis with imaging, pathology and recent blood results to the international patient service and ask for a written plan naming the consultant, with an itemised estimate.

Does the hospital perform kidney transplants?

Yes, alongside dialysis and chronic kidney disease management. Living related transplant requires documented proof of relationship and statutory authorisation committee clearance, which sets the timeline.

Is radiation therapy available on site?

Yes, radiation therapy is provided alongside medical and surgical oncology. Confirm that all phases of your cancer treatment will be delivered at this unit rather than partly elsewhere.

Are international patients supported?

Yes. Apollo has one of the longest records with international patients in India, covering appointments, estimates, visa invitation letters, airport transfer, accommodation guidance and interpreters.

How long is the stay for joint replacement?

Usually three to five inpatient days with physiotherapy from the day after surgery, then about two weeks locally for the first review and suture removal before long-distance travel.

What insurance is accepted?

Most Indian insurers and third-party administrators are empanelled with cashless approval before planned admission. Overseas insurers usually reimburse rather than pay directly, so confirm in writing first.

Where should family stay?

JP Nagar, Jayanagar and the Bannerghatta Road area have hotels, guest houses and serviced apartments within a short drive, which is preferable to staying in central or north Bengaluru.

What should I bring from Bengaluru?

Passport or photo identification, previous discharge summaries and operation notes, recent blood tests, imaging on disc with printed reports, biopsy slides or blocks where cancer is involved, and a written medicine list with doses.
