Background

The hospital network originated as Global Hospitals, founded in Hyderabad as a tertiary care institution focused on advanced gastroenterology and liver transplantation. Over time it expanded to other Indian metropolitan centres, building a presence in southern and western India. The "Gleneagles" prefix was adopted following the entry of Parkway Pantai (subsequently part of the Malaysia-headquartered IHH Healthcare group) as the controlling shareholder, aligning the Indian operations with the international Gleneagles brand of hospitals operated by IHH in Asia.

Locations

Gleneagles Global Hospitals operates tertiary care facilities in multiple Indian cities, with hospitals located in:

  • Chennai, Tamil Nadu
  • Hyderabad, Telangana
  • Bengaluru, Karnataka
  • Mumbai, Maharashtra

Clinical services

The network provides a broad range of secondary and tertiary care services. It is particularly recognised for:

  • Transplantation: liver, kidney, heart, lung, pancreas, intestinal and combined multi-organ transplants.
  • Cardiac sciences: interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and cardiothoracic surgery.
  • Neurosciences: neurology, neurosurgery and stroke care.
  • Oncology: medical, surgical and radiation oncology with bone marrow transplantation.
  • Gastroenterology and hepatology: advanced endoscopy and hepatobiliary surgery.

Significance

The Global Hospitals group played a notable role in the development of liver transplantation as a routine clinical service in India, and the network is among the higher-volume transplant providers in the country. Its acquisition by IHH Healthcare made it part of one of Asia's largest private healthcare groups, integrating Indian operations with a wider regional network of hospitals.
