About Fortis Escorts Heart Institute
Unlike a 50-department multi-speciality giant, Escorts is built around the heart: cath labs, cardiac OT, paediatric cardiac ICU and EP. That focus is why complex congenital and high-risk CABG files are sent here even when the family is already looking at Apollo or Medanta for other relatives.
Okhla Road is inner South-East Delhi, near Jamia and the Yamuna bank. Traffic from T3 is 40–75 minutes. Nearby hotels are thinner than Saket; we often book Sarita Vihar / New Friends Colony stay because Apollo is close and attendants can move between campuses.
Paediatric cardiac cases need extra documents (birth certificate, both parents’ passports). We list them before you book tickets so the visa file is not rejected for a missing attendant form.

Fortis Escorts FAQs for international patients
Is Escorts Hospital now Fortis?
Yes. Escorts Heart Institute is Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla Road, New Delhi. Older patients still say Escorts.
Is it only a heart hospital?
It is a dedicated cardiac super-speciality. Non-cardiac problems are managed or referred; we say so if you need a multi-organ campus.
Do they operate on children?
Yes — paediatric cardiology and congenital surgery are a major reason international families choose Okhla.
Fortis Escorts vs Medanta heart institute?
Escorts is a standalone cardiac campus in Delhi. Medanta is a large Gurugram multi-institute hospital with a heart institute inside it. Volume and surgeon matching decide.
How soon after angiogram can CABG happen?
Often days, not weeks, if the patient is fit and the visa is ready. We try to avoid two separate international trips.
NABH or JCI?
NABH cardiac campus. Some Fortis units elsewhere hold JCI; we state this campus’s current certificates on the file.
What reports should I send?
ECG, echo, angiogram, bloods, previous CABG/PCI notes. WhatsApp +91 7289892654.
Can an attendant stay?
Usually one attendant in the room. Paediatric cases often need both parents documented on the visa.
