History

[edit]

Krishna Hospital was the first corporate hospital to be located in Ahmedabad.[1] It was conceived by Dr. Atul Chokshi, an interventional cardiologist practising in New York City, his brother Animesh Chokshi and 100 other doctors, most of them living in the United States.[1] Dr. Chokshi being a devote of the Hind deity Krishna and a reader of Bhagavad Gita, named the establishment "Krishna Heart Institute".[2]

Krishna Hospital is partnered with MedSolution, a medical tourism company located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[3] It was built with a capacity of 140 beds and specialised operating theaters.[1]

Acquisition by Shalby

[edit]

The number of patients treated by Krishna Hospital declined. In October 2012, Shalby Ltd. announced that they had acquired 86% of the share in Yogeshwar Healthcare Ltd. which ran the Krishna Hospital. The cost of the acquisition was not revealed, but was speculated to be around ₹75 crore (US$9.0 million)-₹80 crore (US$9.6 million). Krishna Hospital would now serve as a place to direct the over-flow of the patients from Shalby hospital. A plan to renovate the hospital was passed and 110 beds were to be added to the 140-bed hospital.[1]

Facilities and treatments

[edit]

Krishna Hospital, has some patients from the local areas of North Gujarat, Saurashtra and Rajasthan,[1] but also markets its services to foreign nationals.[4] It provides diagnostic and treatment procedures in cardiology and joint replacement.[5]

The institute was the first hospital in the local area to set up a specialised ISO-100 operating theatre,[7] where the air in the operating theatre is refreshed 130 times per hour.[6] As of 2010, Krishna hospital is reported to have performed over 25,000 procedures including 4,000 open heart bypass surgeries.[2]
