RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur

Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences (RTIICS), also known as RN Tagore Hospital, is a 681-bed multispeciality hospital on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass at Mukundapur, Kolkata. Established in 2000, it holds JCI accreditation alongside NABH accreditation, and 92 doctors practise here.Cardiac sciences are the institute's founding discipline and remain its deepest programme, extending to heart transplantation and supported by a dedicated cardiac anaesthesiology department. Renal sciences including kidney transplantation, neurosciences, gastroenterology, hepatobiliary sciences and cancer care run alongside, with general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, clinical medicine, clinical nutrition, cosmetology and aesthetic medicine among the other departments.The hospital has 16 operation theatres and four catheterisation laboratories, the latter used for angiography and catheter-based cardiac intervention. That capacity allows surgery and interventional cardiology to run in parallel rather than queueing behind one another, which matters in acute cardiac presentations where treatment time determines outcome.Clinical pathology and health check-up services operate on site. The hospital runs 24 hours a day with an emergency department, a blood bank and a pharmacy open round the clock. Registration is charged at Rs 400.Patients travel to RTIICS from across eastern and north-eastern India, and facilities reflect that: a cafeteria, parking, Wi-Fi, a bank and ATM, money exchange, a travel desk, a prayer room and a laundry room for families staying through a long admission.The hospital is located at Premises No. 1489, 124 Eastern Metropolitan Bypass, Mukundapur, Kolkata 700099, near the Rabindranath Tagore watchtower. The Bypass frontage keeps it reachable from Garia, Santoshpur, Kasba, Salt Lake and the Kolkata airport road.
