Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket is a JCI & NABH-accredited tertiary and quaternary care hospital in South Delhi, part of Max Healthcare Institute Limited (publicly traded on the NSE, a Nifty 50 constituent). Its original East Block operates as a unit of the Devki Devi Foundation, a charitable trust, while the hospital as a whole has grown substantially over time. Following the inauguration of a new 400-bed tower in 2025-26, the hospital's total capacity reached approximately 1,200 beds across 22+ specialties, reportedly making it the largest private hospital in Delhi by bed count. It is also home to Asia's first Brain SUITE, a specialized neurosurgical operating theatre enabling MRI imaging during surgery.

About the hospital
History, Ownership & Accreditation
From a Charitable Trust to a Nifty 50 Healthcare Group
Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket has an unusual dual structure. Its original East Block operates as a unit of the Devki Devi Foundation — a charitable trust whose stated mission includes medical research and expanding access to cardiac and cancer care — while the hospital's broader operations sit under Max Healthcare Institute Limited, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Delhi.
Max Healthcare itself has grown into one of India's largest hospital networks: publicly traded on Indian stock exchanges (NSE: MAXHEALTH) and a constituent of the Nifty 50 index, led by Chairman & Managing Director Abhay Soi, with over 15,000 employees group-wide. In the most recent financial year, Max Healthcare treated over 40 lakh patients from 800+ cities and 180+ countries across its network, and provided free treatment worth ₹244 crore to 3.6 lakh patients.

A note on this section: unlike some of our other hospital pages, these details are compiled from third-party sources rather than Max Healthcare's own official documentation. We'll confirm exact current services, and any specific requirements (such as visa documentation support), directly with the hospital's international patient team as part of coordinating your case — treat the above as a general guide rather than a guarantee.
How HealPassage fits in
Whatever Max Saket's international patient team handles on the ground, HealPassage's role stays the same across every hospital in our network: reviewing your case before you travel, coordinating a treatment plan and cost estimate directly with the specialists at Max Saket, and staying in touch throughout so nothing falls through the cracks between acceptance and admission.
