Dr. Vikram Shah, Founder & CMD, Shalby Hospitals, said: “We are honoured to receive the Medical Value Travel Specialist Hospital Award from FICCI recognizing our excellence in joint replacements and attracting medical tourists from around the world. We began our journey in 1994 with a six-bed hospital and a single speciality – orthopaedics. Today, Shalby enjoys the credit of performing over 100,000 joint replacement surgeries, emerging as India’s Number One hospital in this area. Over the years, we have evolved into a multi-specialty hospitals chain with 11 hospitals with an aggregate bed capacity of 2,000. The FICCI award recognises Shalby Hospitals’ innovative approaches to expert healthcare and reaffirms our ability to deliver world-class healthcare services to our patients.”

Shalby in its journey of 25 years has treated thousands of international patients from countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Malawi, Madagascar, Indonesia, Nepal and the Middle-East, apart from developed countries like the UK and US.

Moving with the mission to make available expert healthcare at doorsteps to a larger segment of Indian population, especially people residing in tier-II and tier-III cities where they were deprived of such advanced medical facilities, Shalby under the leadership of Dr. Vikram I. Shah, Founder & CMD, has established its most modern multi-specialty hospitals in the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Maharashtra.
