Batra Hospital & Medical Research Centre, New Delhi

Batra Hospital & Medical Research Centre in Tughlakabad, New Delhi is a 500-bed multispeciality hospital established in 1987. Its current institutional page reports 80 ICU beds and 10 operating theatres. Centres of excellence cover cardiac care, neurosciences, orthopaedics and joint replacement, gastro sciences, urology, nephrology and kidney transplantation, cancer and pulmonary or critical-care medicine. The hospital states that it is NABH accredited.

Renal services include kidney transplantation, including ABO-incompatible transplantation, haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, CRRT and plasmapheresis. Orthopaedic surgery covers primary and revision joint replacement, knee, shoulder, hip and elbow arthroscopy, spine surgery, trauma surgery and paediatric orthopaedics. These programmes sit alongside cardiac, cancer and neurosurgical services for patients whose treatment requires input beyond one specialty.

The kidney unit has 14 haemodialysis stations and supports dialysis for critically ill patients in multiple ICUs. Orthopaedics uses computer-assisted navigation for selected joint-replacement operations and minimally invasive techniques for some knee procedures. The hospital’s broader surgical complex accommodates neurological, urological, gastrointestinal, orthopaedic and other operations, with intensive care available after major procedures.

Batra may be relevant for people with chronic or end-stage kidney disease, degenerative joint disease, sports injuries, spinal conditions, cancer, heart disease or neurological problems. Its renal-transplant and dialysis infrastructure is especially pertinent to medically complex patients, while the orthopaedic programme offers both reconstructive joint surgery and arthroscopic treatment within the same hospital.

The hospital’s dialysis capacity is also important for surgical patients with impaired kidney function, because renal replacement therapy can continue during an unrelated admission. Similarly, rehabilitation services can support recovery after joint, spine or neurological treatment.
