Venkateshwar Hospital is a NABH-accredited multi-specialty hospital in Dwarka, New Delhi, founded in 2016 by the Venkateshwar Group — a company better known for running some of Delhi's largest schools before diversifying into healthcare. It opened as West Delhi's largest super-specialty hospital, and has grown from an initial 325 beds to approximately 500 beds today, across 32+ specialties. The hospital launched Asia's first MR-based treatment planning system for oncology, and is recognized as a Comprehensive Stroke Centre under the international Angels Initiative network, meaning it's equipped to perform mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke.

About the hospital
History, Ownership & Accreditation
From Classrooms to Cath Labs
Venkateshwar Hospital has an unusual origin story among Delhi's major hospitals: it was founded by the Venkateshwar Group, an organization that built its reputation running some of Delhi's largest schools, before diversifying into healthcare in 2016. Under Dr. Y.P. Bhatia, Chairman of the hospital's Advisory Council, the group positioned the new hospital as bringing the same institution-building approach from education into medicine — investing heavily in advanced diagnostic and treatment technology from the outset rather than growing organically over decades.
That technology-first approach shows in the hospital's early equipment list: a 3 Tesla MRI, 256-slice CT scanner, PET Gamma camera, and a cath lab equipped with intravascular ultrasound and rotational atherectomy (Rotablator) — a notably advanced package for a hospital in its first year of operation. Since opening with 325 beds in 2016, the hospital has grown to approximately 500 beds today, and holds NABH accreditation.

Ownership
Venkateshwar Hospital is owned and operated by the Venkateshwar Group, a Delhi-based organization whose primary business has historically been education (running several well-known schools in the city). This is genuinely different from every other hospital in our network — not a charitable trust, not a publicly listed hospital chain, but a privately-held group that diversified from education into healthcare.

How you'll be matched with a specialist
Once you share your medical reports, our medical coordination team identifies the specific specialist(s) at Venkateshwar whose experience best matches your condition — this is particularly relevant for stroke and complex oncology cases, given the hospital's specific technology and comprehensive stroke centre designation. You'll receive their name, qualifications, and relevant experience before you commit to travel.
Getting there & settling in
International Patient Services at Venkateshwar Hospital
We weren't able to independently verify a dedicated international patient services page from Venkateshwar's own materials during research.
Important note on this section: unlike our BLK-Max, Apollo, and Fortis pages, we could not confirm specific international patient services directly from Venkateshwar Hospital's own materials. Given this hospital's relatively recent founding (2016) compared to some of our other partners, and its origins as an education-sector diversification rather than an established international medical tourism player, it's worth a direct conversation with their administration to understand exactly what's currently in place.
11 km from the Airport
Located in Dwarka, approximately 11 km (about a 40-minute drive) from Indira Gandhi International Airport — one of the more practical locations among our Delhi partner hospitals.
Pre-Arrival Case Review
Sharing your reports in advance allows the treating specialist to review your case before your visit, a standard practice we'll help coordinate directly with the hospital.
24×7 Hospital Facilities
Confirmed 24×7 pharmacy, blood bank, and emergency services on-site — useful baseline infrastructure regardless of specific international patient program details.
How HealPassage fits in
Given the limited independently verified information here, HealPassage's role is especially important for Venkateshwar: we'll personally confirm visa assistance, interpreter availability, and accommodation support directly with the hospital's administration before you travel — particularly important given its comprehensive stroke centre and oncology programs, where time-sensitive coordination matters most.
