BLK Max Hospital is a large tertiary hospital on Pusa Road in west-central Delhi, formed when the long-established BLK hospital joined the Max Healthcare group. It sits inside the city rather than in the satellite towns, which is unusual for a hospital of this size and is the main practical reason patients choose it.
For someone arriving from Bengaluru, the location genuinely matters. Pusa Road is close to Karol Bagh and Rajendra Place, on the metro, and reachable from most of Delhi without the long southward or westward journeys that other flagship hospitals require. Accommodation in Karol Bagh is plentiful and moderately priced, which is exactly what a family needs during a long treatment course.
Why patients choose BLK Max Hospital
Bone marrow transplant and haematology are the strongest programmes. The hospital has run one of the larger transplant units in north India, treating leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, thalassaemia and aplastic anaemia, with the isolation facilities and infection control that this work demands.
Second, cancer care more broadly: medical oncology, radiation therapy, surgical oncology and tumour board review.
Third, the hospital covers cardiac sciences, neurosciences, orthopaedics, liver transplant and hepatobiliary surgery, kidney transplant, gastroenterology and paediatrics, with a large intensive care footprint.

If you are coming for a bone marrow transplant
The questions are specific. What is the unit's annual transplant volume, and how many of your diagnosis? Is a matched sibling donor available, and if not, does the unit perform haploidentical transplant using a half-matched family member, or access unrelated donor registries? What is the one-year survival for patients with your diagnosis and disease stage? What do the isolation rooms and air handling look like, and can a family member stay?
On cost, ask for the transplant admission, the expected complications and the first year of monitoring to be quoted separately. Transplant is the treatment where headline figures diverge most from what families actually pay, because a prolonged admission for infection or graft-versus-host disease changes everything.
