Global Hospital
Global Hospitals is today India's fastest growing chain of facilities offering tertiary level super specialty care and multi organ transplantation services. With hospitals already functioning in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai, the group is all set to foray into Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Bhubaneswar.
Founded in 1998 by Dr. K. Ravindranath, an internationally renowned Surgical Gastroenterologist, and his associates, Global Hospitals has today become a synonym for outstanding and compassionate health care.
Global is a leader in India in performing liver, heart, lung, kidney, and heart-lung transplantation, as well as bone marrow transplantation. The outcomes at Global are on par with the best centers in the world.
Global Hospitals has become the destination of choice for all discerning patients from within the country and abroad because it:

The Founder
Dr. Ravindranath, the architect of the Global Hospitals' Group, traces his beginnings to a non-descript and tiny village in Nellore district of Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Dedicated to excellence right from his schooldays, Dr. Ravindranath rose by dint of sheer self-effort to obtain MS from Madras University and FRCS from both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Dr. Ravindranath was leading a quiet and happy life specializing in surgical gastroenterology and liver transplantation in Britain's prestigious hospitals when he had a call from his father, a freedom fighter. " A poor country like India needs your services more than a rich country like Britain," his aged parents counseled him. He did not waver for a minute in abandoning his lucrative job and returning to India for good.
Even as he associated himself with liver transplants in Britain, he wondered why the procedure could not be done in India. Those were the days when the highly affluent, afflicted with terminal liver disease, made a beeline to Britain in the hope of undergoing liver transplantation. They spent a fortune and waited indefinitely in hostile climate for a donor liver. As Indians enjoyed the least priority in the allocation of donor organs, many of them died waiting, while a fortunate few were allocated marginal livers
India has some of the best medical brains in the world. In fact, it is they who keep the medical services in counties like the U.S., the U.K and in West Asia ticking. India has some of the finest hospitals in the world in terms of infrastructure. Yet, for liver transplants the patients had to go abroad.
Dr. Ravindranath was dreaming of opening a facility totally dedicated to liver transplantation in India when his father stirred up his latent patriotism and hastened his return.
Dr. Ravindranath returned to India in 1994 but he had to await the passage of the Human Organs Transplantation Act before he could design and build Global Hospitals in Hyderabad as an exclusive facility for multi organ transplants in 1998. Global Hospitals over the years has become a center of excellence not merely for organ transplantation but also for super specialty tertiary care.
Spurred by the resounding success in Hyderabad, Dr Ravindranath has replicated Global Hospitals in Bengaluru and Chennai and is in the process of replicating them in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bhubaneswar.
Dr. Ravindranath is one of the few doctors in India who have metamorphosed themselves into successful entrepreneurs without bidding goodbye to their primary duty of saving lives by wielding the scalpel. That Global Hospitals, which came into existence in 1998 with a 50-bed single specialty, has now grown into a titan with three major healthcare hubs and nine satellite facilities with a total bed strength of 1700 eloquently testifies to Dr. Ravindranath's vision, passion and dynamism. "I have miles to go before I can sleep," says Dr. Ravindranath.
