P D Hinduja Sindhi Hospital

P D Hinduja Sindhi Hospital jointly sponsored by Sindhi Youth Association, Bangalore, and Hinduja Foundation, Mumbai is the realization of a dream to establish a center of Excellence in Health care extending quality medical care to the needy at a very affordable cost for the last 60 years.

The hospital was established by a few philanthropic Sindhi youths as a charitable dispensary on 23rd August 1962 in Gandhinagar and later shifted to Sampangiramnagar as a hospital with outpatient and Inpatient blocks and was named Sindhi Charitable Hospital. Since 1975 the hospital started gradual expansions and was utilized by needy patients from low-income groups. Charity being the main philosophy of the hospital, the charges were kept very low and highly subsidized.

Gradually during the early eighties, the hospital had mile stone achievement of starting an advanced cardiac center with a cath lab and operation theatre where the FIRST OPEN HEART SURGERY IN KARNATAKA was performed. A Multispeciality hospital was operating in full swing. As the demand for beds was increasing, the hospital was expanded into a multistoried building with four floors in the same site so that different outpatient, Inpatient, O.T., and Diagnostic wings were created with much more sophisticated medical equipment.

It is at this stage, in appreciation of the philanthropic healthcare service being rendered by the Sindhi Youth Association, Hinduja Foundation joined hands in a big way jointly sponsoring the hospital’s upgradation and the name of the hospital was changed to P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital in the middle of eighties. By the nineties, the hospital turned into a 72 bedded hospital with a separate O.T and I.C.U complex.

During the first decade of the 20th Century, fast upgradation of all the departments with sophisticated and hi-tech equipment in the department of Radiology, Laboratory, and O.T had taken place. Another new facility of ‘Haemodialysis’ unit was started in 2003 with only 4 machines, which gradually was expanded to 17 machine Dialysis unit today.

Another milestone was the expansion of the hospital adding the Golden Jubilee Block with four floors in the neighboring site attached to the hospital in the 50th Golden Jubilee year of the hospital adding additional beds to the hospital’s bed strength, in 2011.
The simultaneously neighboring five-storied building was taken on lease and the non-clinical departments and nurses’ hostel were moved into that building, marking the further expansion of the hospital.

During the second decade of the 20th Century, the hospital concentrated on ‘Quality’ upgradations and achieved ‘NABL’ Accreditation in 2012 and ‘NABH’ Accreditation in 2017 from the Quality Council of India, New Delhi. Thus Quality health care is being extended to patients at a very affordable cost.
