Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 1: Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru has been honoured as one of India's Leading Kidney Transplant Centre at FICCI Advantage Healthcare India 2026. This prestigious recognition underscores the hospital's clinical excellence, advanced capabilities in renal care, and its emergence as the most preferred hospital in India for both Indian and International patients seeking complex kidney transplant procedures.
A key milestone in this journey has been the introduction of TREAT Program (Total Robot Enabled and Assisted Transplant), a first-of-its-kind clinical initiative introduced in India, that is redefining clinical outcomes related with kidney transplants. The program enables the simultaneous use of two robot aided systems - one for the donor and one for the recipient, marking a significant advancement in surgical innovation. Importantly, the program plays a critical role in enabling life-saving transplants for high-risk patients, especially those with obesity, multiple co-morbidities, prior transplant history, or complex anatomical conditions, which were previously considered unsuitable for surgery.
Drawing patients from India as well as from other countries including Africa, Middle East, and South East Asia, the hospital continues to strengthen its position as a global healthcare destination. In addition to its excellence in kidney transplantation, Fortis Bannerghatta is recognized for excellence across other specialties - Oncology, Neurosciences, Urology, and Cardiac Sciences, backed by advanced healthcare infrastructure.
Dr. Mohan Keshavamurthy, Principal Director, Renal Sciences, Fortis Hospitals, Bengaluru, said, "The kidney transplant program at Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road has always prioritised high-quality, patient-centric care powered by cutting-edge surgical techniques. Innovations like robotic-assisted transplantation have further enhanced our ability to provide safer, more precise procedures and broaden access to advanced treatment options for a wider range of patients."
Mr. Gautham CB, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road, said "This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to clinical excellence and innovation. At Fortis, our focus is on making advanced, world-class healthcare accessible to patients across geographies, and this milestone further strengthens our position as a leading centre for kidney transplantation in India. This recognition further underscores Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road's steadfast commitment to delivering patient-centric, technology-driven, and outcome-focused care, where innovation and clinical excellence combine to improve and save lives."
