NARAYANA HRUDAYALAYA
The world's largest heart hospital started off with the mission of making sophisticated healthcare available to the masses. The founder, Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, believed that no child should be deprived of the best healthcare despite their parents not being to afford it. That was the basis of establishing Narayana Hrudayalaya. The name Narayana Hrudayalaya means “God's Compassionate Home” in Sanskrit, which embodies the true foundation of the institute. The Narayana Health City believes in ‘Caring with Compassion' as it promises the best healthcare for people from all walks of life, and discriminates none.
NH is able to provide affordable cardiac care to the masses by building a solid reputation for high quality health services in order to attract paying patients and concurrently focusing on lowering its costs of operation wherever possible so that a larger number of people could afford to seek treatment. This combination provided a surplus from the paying patients from which was used to subsidise the procedures that were performed at or below cost for patients who were not able to afford the full fee.
NH has also gone one step further by launching the Telemedicine Program,
which is a new initiative in association with the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) and various state Indian governments. Currently there
are 42 telemedicine centers all over the world, and NH has treated over
20,000 patients in clinics in India , Malaysia , Mauritius and Pakistan
