HN Reliance Hospital

Modern hospital with advanced specialty care.

Treatments supported here

HN Reliance Hospital, formally the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, is a not-for-profit multi-specialty hospital in Girgaon, south Mumbai. The original hospital on the site dates back to the early twentieth century and was rebuilt and reopened in 2014 as a modern tertiary facility run by a foundation rather than as a commercial venture.

That combination is unusual and it is the reason to consider it. The building, imaging and intensive care are new, while the charitable structure means a proportion of capacity is used for subsidised and free treatment. For a patient arriving from Bengaluru, it offers current-generation facilities at pricing that is generally more moderate than the flagship corporate hospitals in the western suburbs.

Why patients choose HN Reliance Hospital

The first reason is the standard of the physical hospital relative to its charges. Cardiac catheterisation laboratories, cross-sectional imaging, hybrid theatres, a large intensive care footprint and a well-equipped cancer service were specified together during the rebuild.

The second is location. South Mumbai has the city's oldest medical district, so specialist opinions, laboratories and blood banks are close by, and the hospital is walkable from Charni Road and reachable from Grant Road and Marine Lines.

The third is breadth. Cardiac sciences, oncology, neurosciences, orthopaedics, nephrology with transplant, gastroenterology, obstetrics and paediatrics all operate here, so a patient with more than one problem is managed in one place rather than referred across the city.

Asking about concessional treatment

Charitable hospitals in Maharashtra generally operate reserved categories of free and subsidised beds under state rules, with eligibility based on income. If cost is a constraint, ask directly at registration what categories exist, what documentation is required, and how long the assessment takes. Do this before admission rather than after the bill is issued, because the categories are allocated in advance.

Common questions

Where is HN Reliance Hospital?

In Girgaon, south Mumbai, close to Charni Road station and within a short ride of Grant Road and Marine Lines. It is in the older medical district of the city.

Is HN Reliance Hospital a charitable hospital?

It is a not-for-profit hospital run by a foundation. It is not a government facility, but it operates concessional and free bed categories under state rules alongside standard paying admissions.

How do I apply for subsidised treatment?

Ask at registration what concessional categories exist and what income documentation is required. Apply before admission rather than after treatment, because these beds are allocated in advance rather than retrospectively.

What specialties are available?

Cardiac sciences, oncology with radiation therapy, neurosciences, orthopaedics, nephrology and urology including kidney transplant, gastroenterology, general surgery, obstetrics and paediatrics, with intensive care throughout.

Is the hospital new?

The site is old but the current hospital was rebuilt and reopened in 2014, so the imaging, theatres and intensive care facilities are of a recent generation rather than adapted from older infrastructure.

How do I arrange an appointment from Bengaluru?

Send a summary of the problem with reports and imaging and ask to be routed to the relevant department, with a written estimate. Sending records first avoids arriving without the required investigations.

Does the hospital perform kidney transplants?

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

Is radiation therapy available?

Yes, radiation therapy is provided as part of the cancer service alongside medical and surgical oncology, so most phases of treatment can be delivered on one site.

What does treatment cost compared with other Mumbai hospitals?

Generally more moderate than the flagship corporate hospitals in the western suburbs for equivalent procedures. Ask for an itemised written estimate and compare it line by line.

Are international patients accepted?

Yes, overseas patients are treated, though the international support service is smaller than at the large corporate chains. Confirm billing, visa documentation and interpreter arrangements in writing before travelling.

Where can family stay nearby?

Girgaon, Grant Road, Marine Lines and Colaba have hotels, guest houses and serviced apartments within a short ride, across a wide range of prices, which suits a companion staying for several weeks.

What should I bring from Bengaluru?

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