About 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 centre 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 Sampangiramnagar as a hospital with an outpatient and Inpatient blocks, and was named as Sindhi Charitable Hospital. Since 1975 the hospital started gradual expansions and was utilized by the 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 hospital had mile stone achievement of starting an advanced cardiac centre 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 many sophisticated medical equipments. It is at this stage, in appreciation of the philanthropic healthcare service being rendered by 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 as P.D. Hinduja Sindhi Hospital in the middle of eighties. By nineties hospital turned into a 72 bedded hospital with a separate O.T and I.C.U complex. During first decade of 20th Century, fast upgradation of all the departments with sophisticated and hitech equipments 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 Golden Jubilee Block with four floors in the neighboring site attached to hospital in the 50th Golden Jubilee year of the hospital adding additional beds to the hospital’s bed strength, in 2011.
Simultaneously neighboring five storied building was taken on lease and the non-clinical departments and nurses hostel were moved into that building, marking further expansion of the hospital.
During the second decade of 20th Century, hospital concentrated on ‘Quality’ upgradations and achieved ‘NABL’ Accreditation in 2012 and ‘NABH’ Accreditation in 2017 from Quality Council of India, New Delhi. Thus Quality health care is being extended to patients at a very affordable cost.
