SAMA Hospital, New Delhi

Sama Hospital is a doctor-owned multispeciality facility on Siri Fort Road in South Delhi. Founded in 1982, the hospital is NABH accredited and has a compact model built around consultant-led medicine, planned surgery and inpatient monitoring. Its departments cover both routine hospital care and selected specialist procedures.

The surgical programme includes cataract surgery, ENT operations, general and laparoscopic surgery, orthopaedic procedures, gynaecological surgery and cosmetic surgery. Additional departments include gastroenterology, internal medicine, urology, ophthalmology, dermatology, pulmonology, neurology, oncology, vascular surgery and aesthetic reconstruction. Anaesthesia is provided for operations, endoscopy and selected pain-management treatment.

Three operating theatres form the core of the surgical infrastructure. Critical-care and high-dependency services support medical patients and people recovering from operations who need closer observation. Endoscopy and diagnostic departments permit investigation and treatment within the same building. The hospital’s smaller scale creates a different setting from Delhi’s large quaternary campuses, with core departments organised around planned procedures and short inpatient stays.

Sama may be relevant for patients seeking cataract or ENT surgery, joint or general surgical treatment, laparoscopic procedures, gastrointestinal assessment, women’s-health care or urological and vascular operations. It can also support patients whose planned procedure requires anaesthesia and postoperative high-dependency monitoring. Highly complex transplantation, extensive trauma management or treatment requiring large organ-specific critical-care programmes may call for a larger tertiary centre.
