Best Hospitals in Bengaluru

Healthcare in Bengaluru at a glance

Bengaluru has well-known public institutes such as NIMHANS for mental health and neurosciences, Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology and Victoria Hospital, along with a large private sector of multi-specialty and super-specialty hospitals, eye hospitals and fertility centres spread across the city.

Choosing a hospital

• Match the hospital to your need: a speciality institute for a specific condition, or a multi-specialty hospital for general and complex care.
• Traffic can make cross-city travel slow, so choose a hospital reachable from home, particularly for emergencies and regular treatments such as dialysis or chemotherapy.
• Compare estimates and inclusions, since private costs vary by hospital and room.

Practical tips

Check NABH accreditation, insurance and state scheme acceptance, and 24-hour emergency capability. In an emergency call 108 or 112. Browse doctors in Bengaluru and book on Lab Dekho.
