Charak Hospital & Research Centre, Lucknow

Charak Hospital & Research Centre is a NABH-accredited multispeciality hospital in Lucknow established in 2009. The hospital provides elective and emergency care across more than 27 specialties, with major programmes in cardiac sciences, neurosciences, oncology, gastroenterology, nephrology, urology, orthopaedics, pulmonology, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and general and minimally invasive surgery. Renal and urological care is a notable part of the hospital’s current profile. Charak operates a 24/7 advanced dialysis service and a kidney-transplant programme, supported by nephrology and urology teams.

Cancer services include medical and surgical oncology, while gastrointestinal care spans medical gastroenterology, hepatology and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. Diagnostic and procedural support includes radiology, interventional radiology, laboratory medicine and nuclear-medicine services. Current hospital information also lists PET-CT, SPECT imaging and radionuclide therapy within its diagnostic and therapeutic infrastructure. Emergency and trauma care is available around the clock with ICU, ventilator and rapid diagnostic support.

Pharmacy and other hospital services also operate 24/7, allowing acute cases to move from assessment to imaging, admission or specialist intervention without depending on normal outpatient hours. Charak is particularly relevant for kidney disease and dialysis, cardiac and neurological care, cancer treatment, gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disease, orthopaedics and patients requiring coordinated emergency and multispeciality treatment in Lucknow.
