With nearly 800 super-specialty, multi-specialty centers, nursing homes, clinics, and hospitals in Jalandhar — the most of any Asian city per population — Jalandhar has become the continent's "biggest" medical hub. Along with serving the residents of Punjab, this facility also treats patients from J&K and the western regions of Himachal who have critical illnesses.
Also, between 40 and 45 percent of the patients who come for treatment here are NRIs from countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, the USA, the UK, Italy, and New Zealand. Patients from Pakistan and Afghanistan have recently begun to go to the city for medical care as well. One of the main factors driving NRI patients to this facility is pricing. If a medical procedure in the West costs roughly Rs 10 lakh in Indian currency, it would only cost them more than Rs 2 lakh here.
There are around 29+ government hospitals in Jalandhar. A few best hospitals in Jalandhar are funded by the government, which are BBC Heart Care Pruthi Hospital, Balaji Medicare Hospital, Patel Hospital, Verma Hospital, and many others. These hospitals in Jalandhar are outfitted with cutting-edge equipment and highly skilled medical staff.
The private hospitals in Jalandhar, like Johal Multispecialty Hospital, Satyam Hospital and Trauma Center, and Satnam Singh Memorial Hospital, are also among the best in the nation. These hospitals offer patients specialized medical care and are furnished with modern amenities.
