Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, Bengaluru

Fortis Hospital on Cunningham Road is a 119-bed multispeciality facility in Vasanth Nagar, central Bengaluru. The hospital has 36 intensive-care beds, eight high-dependency beds and five operating theatres. It is part of Fortis Healthcare and holds NABH accreditation for the hospital and its laboratory. Its central address can reduce travel across the city for repeated consultations.

Cardiac medicine and surgery are prominent at this location. The Heart and Vascular Centre performs angiography, angioplasty, pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, balloon valvuloplasty, bypass surgery, valve repair or replacement, congenital heart surgery and aortic aneurysm repair. The broader clinical roster covers urology, gastroenterology, oncology, orthopaedics, nephrology, neurology, neurosurgery, pulmonology, internal medicine and critical care.

Cardiac procedures are backed by a dedicated cardiac intensive-care unit and surgical suites. Non-invasive investigations include electrocardiography, two- and three-dimensional echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring and cardiac CT. The internal-medicine department uses laboratory testing, radiology, cardiac testing and pulmonary function testing to investigate both acute symptoms and long-term conditions.

This compact central-city hospital may appeal to patients requiring heart investigation or surgery with ICU follow-up. It also provides a single setting for cancer treatment, joint replacement, neurological assessment, digestive and urinary care, and management of medical conditions that need input from several departments.
