Bengaluru flagship emerges as a key hub for cross-border care, strengthening access for Bangladesh patients
Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, the flagship unit of Manipal Hospitals, continues to strengthen its leadership in India’s private healthcare sector, driven by advanced clinical capabilities, cutting-edge technology, and a patient-centric model of care.
Established in 1991, the hospital laid the foundation for what has evolved into one of India’s most trusted and expansive multispecialty healthcare networks. Today, the Bengaluru facility operates as a 600-bed quaternary care centre, delivering comprehensive services across 53 specialties and over 60 sub-specialties, supported by state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic infrastructure, a press release said.
The hospital has emerged as a leader in robotic-assisted surgeries, high-end oncology, and organ transplantation, combining deep clinical expertise with precision-led technologies to deliver superior patient outcomes. Its strong focus on evidence-based medicine and continuous clinical research continues to redefine benchmarks of quality care in the region.
A significant milestone for the institution has been the successful completion of over 1,000 robotic spine and orthopaedic surgeries, positioning it among the pioneers in robotic surgical excellence in India.
The hospital currently deploys a suite of advanced robotic platforms, including:
Da Vinci robotic system for complex minimally invasive procedures
CVIS (Coronary & Vascular Imaging Systems) for advanced vascular interventions
Mazor X robotic guidance system for precision spine surgery
MAKO robotic platform for total hip and joint replacement
These technologies are increasingly being leveraged to enhance surgical precision, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce patient recovery time. A key differentiator for the hospital is its International Patient Care programme, which caters to patients from across geographies, including Bangladesh. The programme is designed to deliver seamless, end-to-end care pathways, encompassing virtual consultations, travel coordination, clinical management, and post-treatment follow-up.
Backed by a network of 38 hospitals and over 70 years of collective healthcare experience, Manipal Hospitals has built a robust cross-border care ecosystem, enabling patients to access advanced treatment with greater ease and confidence.
To further enhance patient experience, the hospital offers: Minimal waiting time for specialist consultations Dedicated international patient support teams Exclusive lounges and premium care facilities Fast-tracked treatment and admission processes Industry experts note that such integrated care models are increasingly critical in addressing gaps in care navigation, clinical coordination, and patient trust, particularly for complex and high-acuity cases.
With its continued investment in innovation, clinical excellence, and global patient engagement, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road is well-positioned to remain a preferred destination for both domestic and international patients, particularly from South Asia.
As healthcare transcends borders, the future will be defined not just by infrastructure, but by integration—where technology, clinical expertise, and patient-centric pathways converge to deliver outcomes that truly matter.
