BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi

BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi has a capacity of 650 beds, including 162 critical-care beds, and 22 modular operating theatres. Inaugurated in Delhi in 1959, it was redeveloped as a multispeciality facility in 2009. The hospital reports accreditation from JCI, NABH and NABL, providing useful reference points for institutional and laboratory processes. Emergency and inpatient support are available for complex admissions.

Its principal centres cover cancer, haematology and bone-marrow transplantation, heart and vascular care, neurosciences, digestive and liver diseases, kidney care and transplantation, orthopaedics, spine and sports medicine, respiratory disease, women's and children's health, and critical care. The scale of the facility may be particularly relevant when a case needs intensive-care backup or sequential input from several units. Specialist teams can coordinate investigations that span more than one discipline.

Technology includes dual-console robotic surgery, robotic joint replacement, integrated robotic spine surgery, TomoTherapy, Revolution Frontier CT and Signa Artist MRI. Treatments include deep brain stimulation, radical nephrectomy, knee replacement, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, abdominal surgery and sleeve gastrectomy. Programme milestones also cover bone-marrow, kidney, liver and heart transplantation. Choice of procedure remains subject to multidisciplinary assessment and patient-specific risks.

BLK-Max may be relevant for patients in Delhi who need complex cancer care, robotic surgery, transplantation (bone marrow, kidney, liver or heart), neurological or spine treatment, or joint replacement in a very large tertiary hospital with 162 critical-care beds.
