Emergency & critical care
Regional referral institution
Tertiary care for Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir
With more than 200 beds, NHS Hospital works at tertiary level in four areas above all: cardiac sciences, neurosciences, orthopaedics and emergency medicine. Families come from across North India because the consultant, the equipment and a treatment plan they can follow are all in the same building.
Other hospitals send us their harder cases — revision joint surgery, neuro-critical emergencies, difficult gastroenterology, advanced kidney treatment. What we recommend is settled against clinical quality standards, never against a commercial target.

Mission
Healthcare that is both effective and efficient, achieved by working as a team rather than as individuals.
Values
Teamwork and integrity; quality and innovation; and compassion above all of them.
Founders
A group of doctors already running long-standing practices in Jalandhar pooled their experience to build this hospital. The brief for the building was practical: room to park, patient flow areas mapped out in advance, and safety and comfort designed in from the start rather than retrofitted.

A round-the-clock emergency and trauma desk, backed by trauma surgeons, lab diagnostics at any hour and specialised ICU support.
Always open
45 Critical Care Beds
Intensivist-supervised critical care for unstable and post-surgical patients across all specialties, with regular sterility swabbing of the unit.
Intensivist-led
MRI & CT Available 24 Hours
Silent MRI, low-radiation CT, digital X-ray, digitised mammography and ultrasound. MRI and CT are available 24 hours, so an emergency scan does not wait for the morning.
Emergency imaging
Digital Modular Theatres
Theatres kitted out for keyhole work and for long, difficult operations alike: laminar airflow through HEPA filtration, imaging live on screen, and records handled without paper.
Laminar airflow
On-Site Pathology
A consultant pathologist runs the laboratory on site. Blood work, pre-operative panels and health-check reports are processed here, so nothing has to be sent out and waited on.
Reports in-house
Physiotherapy & Rehab
Udaan, the physiotherapy team, works with inpatients and outpatients alike — rehabilitation programmes, plus the sessions that come before an operation and the ones that come after.
Structured recovery
Ambulance on Call
An ambulance fleet supports the emergency desk, with quick-response teams for stroke, cardiac and trauma calls.

Technology & infrastructure
The equipment behind the diagnosis
A machine can sharpen a decision; it cannot make one. Judgement stays with the consultant. What follows is simply the equipment and the rooms your treatment will pass through.
Radiology & diagnostics
- Low radiation CT scan (Revolution ACTs ES)
- Silent 1.5 Tesla MRI (GE Explorer)
- FibroScan for liver stiffness and fatty liver
- Digitised mammography and bone densitometry
- Ultrasound, colour Doppler and transcranial Doppler
- Digital X-ray and fluoroscopy
- Vertigo lab
- Portable ultrasound at the bedside for ICU patients
Theatres & campus
- Digital modular operation theatres with paperless systems
- Laminar airflow with HEPA filtration in the operating rooms
- Advanced robotic joint replacement centre
- Central Sterile Services Department with chemical and biological monitoring
- 45-bed intensive care unit
- 168-seat 3D HD auditorium with live surgical feeds from the theatres
- Executive preventive health lounge
- Spacious parking and planned patient flow areas
The NHS care model
Four pillars we hold every case to
How we deliver clinical outcomes and a patient journey you can plan around.
01
Senior consultant-led decisions
A senior consultant both plans your treatment and carries it out. Diagnostics are not delegated downward — the doctor who sees you in clinic is the one who operates and the one who does the ward round that matters.
02
Multi-super specialty integration
Cardiology, nephrology, neurology, gastroenterology, orthopaedics and critical care sit on shared panels. Say a patient with a heart condition needs a joint replaced: both consultants agree the approach before a date goes in the diary.
03
Robotics and modern infrastructure
The region's advanced robotic joint replacement centre. Partial and total arthroplasty are planned to sub-millimetric accuracy, with fast digital operating suites, silent MRI and low-radiation CT behind them.
04
Structured recovery and clinical quality
The recovery room is not the finish line. Getting patients mobile early, on evidence-based protocols, and holding the line on infection control is what shortens a stay and gets normal function back sooner.
Why Choose Us
Senior consultants, advanced technology, no waiting.
Every institute at NHS Hospital Jalandhar is run by a super-specialty qualified consultant — with on-site endoscopy suites, a cardiac cath lab, dialysis unit, robotic surgery and 24/7 critical care side by side.

Clinical quality & patient safety
Zero-tolerance protocols, audited every month
Quality is not a department that sits alongside the surgical and therapeutic workflow — it is built into it. Structured audits, training that never stops and repeated safety checks are how the hospital-acquired infection rate is driven down towards zero.
100%
Compliance with the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, audited by the internal quality committee
<0.5%

24/7
Critical care watched over by a senior consultant
Infection control (CSSD)
Nothing reaches a theatre until the Central Sterile Services Department has cleared it. Instruments are sterilised to defined parameters and then checked twice over, chemically and biologically.
Multidisciplinary panels
Complex cases go in front of a board — surgeons, physicians, radiologists and intensivists in one room. Arguing the plan out that way keeps it a clinical decision instead of a commercial one.
Continuous auditing
Three items come up at the Medical Quality Cell every week: antibiotic stewardship, prescription errors and incident reports. Once a month, the Clinical Audit Committee works through outcomes and readmissions.
Laminar airflow theatres
Air in the operating rooms is pushed in one direction through HEPA filters, sweeping airborne contaminants away from the wound. Nowhere does that matter more than in joint replacement.
Antibiotic stewardship
Antibiotics here are prescribed under tight control. Loose prescribing is what breeds multi-drug resistant organisms, and the cost of that lands on the whole community, not only on the patient in the bed.
Daily ICU sterility testing
Surfaces across the 45 intensive care beds are swabbed and cultured on a regular cycle. The patients lying in them have the least margin to absorb an infection picked up on the ward.
What to expect
Your patient journey, step by step
Most of the anxiety around a hospital stay comes from not knowing what comes next, and anxiety slows healing. So here is the whole route, end to end: the paperwork, the clinical part, and the weeks at home afterwards.
Pre-admission counselling and guidance
A patient relationship executive walks you through three things: the date, the estimate and the practical logistics. In parallel we start the pre-anaesthetic checkup, adjust any medication you are already on, and get the insurance approval confirmed — so nothing stalls on the morning itself.
Outpatient and diagnostic review
On arrival you are routed through radiology, pathology or both. Reports land digitally within minutes and go straight to a senior consultant. If another department needs to weigh in, that happens now — not after a decision has already been made.
Inpatient care and clinical management
You are admitted into whichever ward or room category you selected. The senior consultant heading your case remains accountable for it throughout, with intensive care physicians reachable at any hour and nursing teams working to the written recovery plan.
Discharge protocol and care education
On the day you leave, a complete medical summary is written up and the final TPA billing approval is pushed through. Before you walk out, someone sits with you over the medicines going home, how to manage the wound, what to eat, and who to ring if something changes.
Post-discharge rehabilitation and support
The discharge folder you take home sets out diet, physiotherapy routines and the dates you are expected back. Three things then confirm that recovery is running to plan: booked physiotherapy sessions, tele-monitoring calls from the nursing station, and your consultant follow-ups.
Cashless & TPA
Approvals handled by our desk, not by you
Hand your policy card and ID over at the cashless desk when you are admitted. From there the coordinators take it: they assemble the clinical file, send it to your TPA and chase the response. Two to four hours is the usual turnaround.

Work we do beyond the ward
Near Home Saviours
Nobody should die in an emergency simply because the person standing next to them did not know what to do. That is the whole idea behind this programme. The target is a trained first responder in every school, every housing society and every home in Jalandhar — someone who can hold the situation steady until our specialists get there.
Udaan
Disability has many causes, and the physiotherapy department builds a rehabilitation programme for each of them — sports medicine, rheumatology, general surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics, oncology, cardiothoracic, neurology and orthopaedics. The same team covers physiotherapy before an operation as well as after it, for inpatients and outpatients both.

What patients say
4.5★★★★★287 Google reviews
Very good team of doctors in the modern equipped hospital. The hospital is very neat and clean with good infrastructure. The staff is also very polite and empathetic.
Our experience from the reception to the MRI Center and other laboratories was just perfect. The minute we entered I think half the battle was won as the whole hospital gave such confidence and a positive vibe. I wish Dr. Shubhang Aggarwal and his team members all the very best for this state of art hospital.
My friend from Kashmir underwent a knee surgery from NHS Hospital Jalandhar. We were hopeless if he'll be able to walk again or even resume playing volleyball. But thanks to Dr Shubhang Aggarwal for the treatment and incredible services of NHS staff that he is as fit as before. Patients get reminder messages and a call from reception before time. Hospital staff is very punctual and polite.

Ninety-nine cuttings from the Punjab press
Over the years the regional papers have come back to NHS Hospital fairly often — Dainik Jagran, Dainik Bhaskar, Punjab Kesari, Ajit, Jag Bani, Hulchul Punjab and the Jalandhar Tribune among them. What is filed below is the whole archive as the hospital holds it: reports on the robotic joint programme, consultant comment on knees, hips and backs, and notices of camps, workshops and hospital occasions. Three of the items are not press coverage at all but adverts the hospital ran itself; they are marked as campaign creatives where they appear.
Two things worth saying plainly. Roughly three quarters of these cuttings are in Hindi or Punjabi. And only two of them carry a legible date, so the rest are grouped by subject rather than by year. Open any tile to read the clipping at full size.

FAQ
Common questions
Where is NHS Hospital located?
Near Sports College, 300m from Kapurthala Chowk, Jalandhar — 144001. It is a 200-bed tertiary care hospital.
How do I book an appointment?
Use the form on this page, call 0181-4707700, or WhatsApp us your reports and we will route you to the right specialist.
Is insurance and cashless accepted?
Yes. A dedicated cashless and TPA helpdesk works with all major insurers, public insurers and corporate health schemes.
Do you handle emergencies 24/7?
Yes. Our emergency department and critical care units run around the clock, with consultants available for heart, kidney and GI emergencies.
What specialties is NHS Hospital known for?
It is a multi-super specialty hospital, and the reputation sits mainly in six places: joint replacement and orthopaedics, neurosciences, cardiology, digestive sciences, kidney and urinary care, and critical care. It was also the first in the region to run robotic-assisted knee replacement.
What does a consultant-led care model mean?
It means nobody hands the important decisions down the ladder. The senior consultant designs the pathway, does the critical surgery and takes the ward round personally — and the same seniority applies to reading your diagnostics and to checking your progress after the operation.
Who leads the robotic joint replacement programme?
Dr. Shubhang Aggarwal, M.Ch. Orth (UK). He is a senior consultant, trained overseas in joint replacement, with thousands of robotic procedures behind him.
What documents should I bring for a planned admission?
Five things: photo ID issued by the government (Aadhaar, passport or voter ID); the original policy card for your health insurance; your recent diagnostic reports; the prescriptions you are currently on; and the referral slip, if your own doctor wrote one.
When can family visit an inpatient?
There are two windows: 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the morning, then 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM in the evening. One visitor at a time, holding a valid pass. It sounds strict, but it is how recovering patients get rest and how the wards stay clean.
How long does cashless authorisation take?
Usually two to four hours. Give your policy card and ID to the cashless desk when you are admitted; the coordinators build the clinical file, send it to your TPA and follow it up from there.
What happens on the day of discharge?
Four things, in order: your consultant reviews you one last time; the nursing desk writes up the medical summary; the final TPA billing approval clears; and someone then briefs you on take-home medicines, wound care, diet and when to come back.
Do you follow the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist?
Yes — on every operation, without exception. Compliance runs at 100%, and the internal hospital quality committee audits it on a regular cycle rather than taking it on trust.
How long does a second opinion take?
Once the imaging and reports reach our coordinator, the panel normally comes back inside 24 to 48 hours. Anything acute, though — chest pain, stroke symptoms, a fracture — belongs with the 24/7 emergency desk, not with this route.
Do you support patients travelling from abroad?
Yes. The international desk writes the medical invitation letter your Indian High Commission will want, walks you through FRRO registration, meets you at Amritsar (ATQ) or New Delhi (DEL), sorts lodging for whoever travels with you, and provides translation support during the stay. Start by emailing your reports to info@nhshospital.in.
