Shalby Hospitals is an Indian organisation which was established in Ahmedabad as a joint replacement centre in 1994 by Dr. Vikram Shah. Shalby runs a chain of hospitals in Vapi, Jabalpur, Indore, Jaipur and Punjab.
History
The hospital, located in Ahmedabad, was established in 1994 as a small 6-bed single specialty unit that offered Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery.[1] By 2007, it had become a 200-bed multi-specialty hospital. It would later offer care in over 40 medical disciplines ranging from cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, trauma, cosmetology to ENT.[1][2] The hospital were certified by National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) in March 2010, six months after applying for accreditation.[3] In 2011 it acquired a 55 per cent stake in the Vrundavan Hospital in Goa, which had 120 beds across two units.[4] In 2012 Shalby acquired Krishna Hospital for an estimated Rs 75 crore, to become the biggest private corporate hospital in Ahmedabad.[5] By 2012 the company had 450 beds in Ahmedabad.[6]
In 2013, Shah claimed the hospital in Ahmedabad completed an average of 30 joint replacement surgeries a day, at which point they had 705 employees.[7] By the end of 2013, the organisation had treated 975 patients from abroad during that year.[8]
During the period 1994–2009, the joint replacement team performed more than 20,000 TKR procedures.[1] The length of surgical time in the hospital had been dramatically reduced from 1 hour, 20 mins per TKR to around 10–12 minutes[9] using the "ZERO Technique" invented by Dr. Vikram Shah.[10] In 2011 Shalby received the Diplomat in National Board (DNB) certificate in Orthopaedics, at the time it was the only hospital in Gujarat to have this.[11] By late 2016, the organisation claimed to have performed more than 85,000 joint replacement procedures.[12]
