Moolchand Hospital

History and background

Moolchand Kharaiti Ram Hospital, now known as Moolchand Medcity, has served patients in Delhi for around six decades and has grown into a multispeciality group with facilities in South Delhi and Agra. Over the years it built a reputation for pioneering work: it was the first hospital in India to introduce streptokinase therapy for heart attacks and to perform minimal-access surgery, and it was among the first multispeciality hospitals to offer laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures. It has also received the International Asia Pacific Quality Award and the Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Commendation Certificate in the healthcare category.

Specialities and centres of excellence

The South Delhi centre brings together more than 250 doctors across over 50 specialities. Departments include emergency and urgent care, critical care, renal care and dialysis, gastroenterology and hepatology, general and advanced laparoscopic surgery, heart care, neurosciences, orthopaedics, paediatrics, Ayurveda and a dedicated women's institute. Its orthopaedic institute covers bone, joint, spine, trauma and sports injuries, with internationally trained surgeons, and the hospital also provides cardiology, neurosurgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, respiratory medicine, urology, oncology, ENT and ophthalmology.

Technology and facilities

Moolchand is known for well-equipped surgical theatres, intensive care units and specialty clinics, supported by comprehensive diagnostic imaging and laboratory services. The hospital holds JCI, NABH, NABL and ISO 9001 accreditation, and has maintained JCI accreditation over multiple cycles, something only a handful of Indian hospitals have achieved.

International patients

Patients and families from more than 50 countries use Moolchand's services, and the hospital reports performing thousands of surgeries each year for international patients. It provides translators and interpreters and a dedicated international patient service. Its central South Delhi location near Lajpat Nagar makes it convenient to combine treatment with accommodation nearby.

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.
