SS SPARSH Hospital (Mysore Road) Bangalore

SS SPARSH Hospital on Mysore Road is a 400-bed tertiary hospital in the SPARSH network, opened in 2017. It has an 85-bed ICU complex, 15 operating theatres, a 17-bed emergency department, a 24-bed dialysis unit and a 12-bed day-care unit.

Its departments include cardiology, gastroenterology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopaedics and joint replacement, oncology, nephrology, hepatology, paediatrics, gynaecology and transplant surgery, along with bariatric, vascular and plastic surgery, ENT and ophthalmology. Planned operations use modular operating theatres, and the doctor roster includes interventional cardiologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, nephrologists and liver-transplant specialists.

The hospital's website lists 90 outpatient department rooms, all on a single floor. Its intensive care unit is described as made up of medical (MICU), surgical (SICU), neonatal (NICU), paediatric (PICU), coronary (CCU) and cardiothoracic surgical (CTSICU) units.

Among the facilities listed are bone marrow transplant services, organ transplant services, dialysis, an advanced laboratory, a 24-hour blood bank, 24-hour ambulance services and a 24-hour patient care call centre. Medical genetics, genetic testing and physiotherapy services also appear in the hospital's list of services, and the site refers to the hospital's multi-organ transplant programmes and its role in international medical tourism.

The hospital is a fit for patients whose care needs several major specialties or a large intensive-care and theatre capacity, for example heart or brain surgery, joint replacement, cancer treatment or a transplant work-up. Because SPARSH has several hospitals in Bengaluru, it is worth confirming that the treating consultant works at the Mysore Road site.
