NH RN Tagore Hospital in Kolkata is the Narayana Health group's cardiac-led hospital in eastern India, known locally as the Rabindranath Tagore institute at Mukundapur. It was built on the same model as the group's Bengaluru cardiac unit: high surgical volume, package pricing and a large intensive care footprint, with a multi-specialty hospital grown around the heart programme.
Its position matters geographically. Eastern India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan have far fewer tertiary cardiac units than the west and south of the country, so this hospital absorbs referrals from a wide area. A patient coming from Bengaluru is choosing it either for that cardiac depth or because Kolkata is the practical entry point for the region.
Why patients choose NH RN Tagore Hospital
Cardiac capability is the first reason. Coronary bypass, valve repair and replacement, congenital heart surgery, angioplasty, pacemaker implantation and electrophysiology procedures all run here in numbers, with dedicated cardiac intensive care rather than a shared unit.
Second, the hospital handles the emergencies that go with cardiac disease properly. Round-the-clock catheterisation laboratory access matters when someone arrives mid-infarct, and a hospital that can take a patient straight to angioplasty is in a different category from one that stabilises and transfers.
Third, the multi-specialty base has grown genuinely deep, covering neurosciences, nephrology and transplant, oncology, orthopaedics and paediatrics, which means a patient with several conditions is managed in one place.

Before you travel
Get a written estimate that names the stent or valve, states the room category and sets out the assumed number of intensive care days with the cost of each extra day. Ask for the surgeon's annual volume of your specific operation. If a child is involved, ask how many of that exact repair the unit performed in the past year.
