Fortis Escorts Hospital Amritsar – Multi-Specialty Tertiary Care in Punjab
About The Hospital
Fortis Escorts Hospital
Majitha Verka Bypass Road, Amritsar – 143 004, Punjab, India
Fortis Escorts Hospital in Amritsar, established in 2003, has become one of Punjab's most respected multi-specialty tertiary care centres and the first choice for complex medical care across the region. Part of the Fortis Healthcare network — one of India's largest hospital chains — the Amritsar facility combines the clinical excellence of a national brand with the accessibility and local expertise that regional patients demand.
With 154 beds and a clinical team covering more than 30 specialties, the hospital has grown significantly from its origins as a dedicated cardiac facility. Today it encompasses advanced programmes in orthopedics and joint replacement, urology, neurology and gastroenterology alongside its flagship cardiac sciences department. The cardiac unit features a state-of-the-art catheterisation laboratory, cardiac ICU and a surgical team experienced in bypass surgery, valve interventions and congenital heart corrections.
The hospital's location in Amritsar places it at the gateway of the India-Pakistan border region and within easy reach of the Sikh pilgrimage hub — meaning the hospital regularly serves patients from Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Gulf and the Sikh diaspora worldwide who seek treatment in a familiar, culturally sensitive environment. The staff's fluency in Punjabi, Hindi and English, alongside the city's reputation for warm hospitality, makes it a natural medical destination for international patients from the broader South Asian corridor.
Fortis Escorts Amritsar holds NABH and NABL accreditations, ensuring that laboratory standards and clinical quality meet nationally benchmarked criteria. The hospital is also the only Fortis hospital in the entire Punjab-Himachal Pradesh corridor — making it the regional referral centre for some of the most complex cases in northern India.
