Apollo Gleneagles Hospital Kolkata – Eastern India's Premier Tertiary Care & Transplant Centre

Apollo Gleneagles Hospital in Kolkata stands as the most comprehensive and internationally connected hospital in eastern India. A joint venture between Apollo Hospitals—India's largest hospital network—and Parkway Pantai (Gleneagles), one of Asia's most respected healthcare groups, the hospital represents the best of two world-class hospital traditions, combining Apollo's deep-rooted presence in Indian healthcare with Gleneagles' Asia-Pacific excellence and international patient management expertise.

Established in 2003, the 750-bed hospital has grown to become the definitive tertiary care destination for Kolkata, West Bengal and the entire eastern Indian region. Patients from Bangladesh—particularly Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet—make up a substantial proportion of the hospital's international patient volume, drawn by the quality of care, cultural familiarity, geographic proximity and significantly lower costs compared to treatment abroad.

The cardiac surgery programme at Apollo Gleneagles Kolkata is one of its greatest strengths. Performing over 2,500 cardiac procedures annually, the department handles complex bypass surgeries, valve repairs, aortic procedures, congenital heart corrections and transplant work-ups. The interventional cardiology unit, supported by four dedicated catheterisation labs, manages the full spectrum of interventional procedures 24 hours a day.

The liver transplant programme at Apollo Gleneagles Kolkata is one of the few in eastern India, making it a critical resource for patients with end-stage liver disease across the region. The transplant team performs both living-donor and deceased-donor transplants, supported by a dedicated hepatology team managing pre-transplant evaluation and post-transplant surveillance.

Oncology is delivered through Apollo Cancer Centres, a standardised network-wide oncology platform covering medical oncology, surgical oncology with robotic-assisted resections, radiation oncology and haematology including bone marrow transplantation.

For international patients, Apollo Gleneagles Kolkata offers a dedicated International Patient Zone with Bangladeshi, Nepali, Arabic and Burmese-speaking coordinators. The hospital is a 30-minute drive from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, which has direct connections to Dhaka, Kathmandu, Singapore, Bangkok and several Gulf cities.
