Fortis Escorts Heart Institute

Fortis Escorts Heart Institute (FEHI) on Okhla Road is India's most recognised dedicated cardiac hospital. Founded in 1988, it pioneered modern interventional cardiology and bypass surgery in the country and remains a national referral centre.

The institute performs thousands of cardiac surgeries and angioplasties annually, with marquee programmes in complex coronary interventions, electrophysiology, paediatric cardiology and congenital heart surgery, heart failure care and TAVR (valve replacement without open surgery). Its cath labs and cardiac ICUs operate around the clock.

FEHI's cardiac emergency response — door-to-balloon protocols for heart attacks — is a key reason South and Central Delhi families keep it on speed dial. The campus sits between New Friends Colony and Sukhdev Vihar, minutes from the Okhla stretch of the Ring Road.
