Max Super Speciality Hospital Saket is the flagship of the Max Healthcare group, in Saket in south Delhi. It is the unit the group sends its most complex work to, and the one most international patients are routed through, so it is where the group's oncology, cardiac, transplant and neurosciences programmes are deepest.
For a patient travelling from Bengaluru, the practical advantages of south Delhi are real: it is the closer side of the city to Indira Gandhi International Airport, the hotel supply around Saket and Malviya Nagar is large, and Saket has its own metro station. Those things sound trivial until you are making five outpatient visits in a week.
Why patients choose Max Super Speciality Hospital Saket
Cancer care is the strongest reason. Medical oncology, radiation therapy, surgical oncology, haematology and bone marrow transplant operate as one institute, and cases are discussed in tumour boards before treatment is fixed. For a cancer patient the value is in that coordination, not in any single machine.
Second, the hospital handles the complex end of cardiac, neurological and transplant work: bypass and valve surgery, aortic procedures, epilepsy and skull base neurosurgery, kidney transplant and liver transplant assessment, robotic urology and complex joint revision.
Third, the international patient service is one of the more experienced in Delhi, which matters for visa letters, estimates, interpreters and the practical business of paying a hospital bill from another country.

Getting a cancer plan right
If you are coming for cancer, three things are worth insisting on. Bring the biopsy blocks or slides, not only the typed report, because the pathology will be re-read and a revised diagnosis changes the plan. Ask for the case to go to a tumour board and ask for the board's conclusion in writing. And ask for the treatment costed per cycle with the number of cycles planned, so you know the full commitment rather than the first instalment.
