About Fortis Escorts Heart Institute
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (FEHI) is one of Asia's most specialized and experienced cardiac care centers, performing over 15,000 cardiac procedures annually including 4,000+ open-heart surgeries. Founded in 1988 by Dr. Naresh Trehan — one of India’s most celebrated cardiac surgeons who trained at New York University Medical Center — FEHI pioneered the concept of a dedicated cardiac super-specialty hospital in India.
The institute has a documented 30-day mortality rate for CABG (bypass surgery) of less than 1% — comparable to leading US and European cardiac centers and achieved at a fraction of the cost. Its interventional cardiology program performs over 8,000 angioplasty procedures annually with outcomes published annually in the Indian Heart Journal.
For international patients requiring cardiac care, FEHI represents one of the world’s most compelling options: world-class clinical outcomes, highly experienced surgeons (many trained at leading US/UK institutions), English-speaking staff throughout, and costs 60–80% below US or UK equivalents.

Patient Reviews
The international patient department at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute made everything seamless. From my first inquiry to discharge, every step was handled professionally. I would not hesitate to return.
Outstanding quality of care. The surgeons here are clearly world-class, and the nursing staff were attentive around the clock. Clean, modern facility. Highly recommend for international patients.
My experience at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute exceeded every expectation. The English-speaking coordinator was available day and night. The price was a fraction of what I would have paid at home.
