Metro Heart Institute with Multispeciality

History and background

Metro Heart Institute with Multispeciality in Faridabad has operated since 2002 as the first dedicated heart hospital in Haryana, part of the Metro group of hospitals set up in 1997 by Dr. Purshotam Lal. Dr. Lal, known as the father of interventional cardiology in India, received the Padma Bhushan in 2003, the Padma Vibhushan in 2009 and the Dr. B. C. Roy National Award. He is credited with the first ASD closure without surgery in 1992 and the first non-surgical aortic valve replacement with a CoreValve in 2004.

Specialities and centres of excellence

The hospital offers cardiac services including angioplasty, pacemaker implantation and heart surgery, supported by dedicated cardiac ICUs. Its cardiac team has performed over 75,000 angiographies and angioplasties and over 10,000 cardiac surgeries. Milestones include the first TAVI in Faridabad, the region's first combined heart and brain surgery and the first minimally invasive heart surgery in Faridabad. It has grown to over 30 specialities, including kidney transplants, mammography for early cancer detection and a large bone marrow transplant unit.

The hospital has more than 400 beds, over 200 experts and more than 1,000 staff, and holds NABH, NABL and KVQA accreditation.

How AlisPro MediTours supports your treatment

AlisPro MediTours is a medical travel coordination service, not a hospital. We do not provide medical treatment, and clinical decisions always rest with your treating doctors. What we do is make the journey to this hospital easier to plan and less stressful to manage.

After you send your medical reports through our enquiry form, our coordinators share them with the hospital's international patient team and help you obtain a written opinion and an estimated cost. If you decide to go ahead, we can help with the medical visa invitation letter, flight planning, airport pickup, accommodation near the hospital, local transport, interpreter support and appointment scheduling. During your stay we stay in touch with you and your family, and after you return home we help arrange follow-up consultations and access to your records.

Costs, package inclusions and waiting times vary by hospital, doctor and treatment, so we recommend asking for a written estimate that clearly states what is and is not included.

Before you travel

Preparation makes a big difference to how smoothly a medical trip goes. Gather your recent medical reports, imaging (with the discs or digital files), a list of current medicines and any previous operation summaries, and share them early so the hospital can give a realistic opinion before you travel.

Ask the hospital or your coordinator for the expected length of stay, the likely total cost and what it includes, whether a family member may accompany you, and what follow-up will be needed after you return home. Confirm the treating doctor's name, the accreditation of the department you will use and how emergencies are handled.

Most international patients enter India on a medical visa, which normally requires an invitation letter from the hospital. Check the validity of your passport, arrange travel insurance that covers medical travel where possible, and plan for extra days in case treatment or recovery takes longer than expected. Keep copies of all documents on your phone and in your luggage.

Travel guide: Faridabad

Faridabad is an industrial city south-east of Delhi, roughly 45 to 75 minutes from Indira Gandhi International Airport depending on traffic, and it is linked to Delhi by the Metro and the Delhi–Mathura highway. Hotel options are more limited than in central Delhi, so many international patients book accommodation close to the hospital or in South Delhi. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are available. The climate follows the Delhi pattern, with hot summers, a monsoon from July to September and cooler winters. Hindi and English are widely used in hospitals.
