Narayana Health City

Narayana Health City is a sprawling 3,000-bed multi-specialty healthcare campus located on Hosur Road in Bommasandra, Bangalore, and serves as the flagship institution of Narayana Health, one of India's largest healthcare groups operating over 40 facilities across India and internationally. Founded by Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, a globally celebrated cardiac surgeon who previously served as personal cardiac surgeon to Mother Teresa, Narayana Health City was established with the revolutionary vision of making world-class healthcare accessible and affordable to all sections of society. The campus is a self-contained medical city encompassing the Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center (supported by the Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation), Narayana Multispecialty Hospital, Narayana Nethralaya (eye hospital), and SPARSH Hospital for orthopedics — all interconnected to provide seamless interdisciplinary care. The Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences is the largest heart surgery center in the world by volume, performing over 14,000 cardiac procedures annually. Under the leadership of Dr. Devi Shetty and a team of over 40 cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, the institute handles the full spectrum of cardiovascular care including neonatal and pediatric cardiac surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve repair and replacement, aortic surgery, heart and heart-lung transplantation, ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and complex electrophysiology procedures. The institute's model of high-volume, quality cardiac care at a fraction of Western costs has been studied and cited by the Harvard Business Review and global health policy experts.
