Shalby Hospitals is a multispecialty hospital with facilities in various locations. The hospital was first started in Ahmedabad as a joint replacement centre in 1994 by Dr. Vikram Shah.[2] Shalby today, runs a chain of 10 multispecialty hospitals in Ahmedabad, Surat, Indore, Vapi, Jabalpur, Jaipur and Mohali.[3]
History
[edit]The hospital, located in Ahmedabad, was established in 1994 by Dr. Vikram Shah as a small six-bedded single specialty unit that offered total knee replacement (TKR) surgery.[4]
Shalby Hospital
[edit]By 2007, it had become a 200-bed multispecialty hospital. It includes 40 medical disciplines ranging from cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, dental care, oncology and trauma to ENT.[4][5]
In 2011, it acquired a 55 percent stake in the Vrundavan Hospital in Goa, which had 120 beds across two units.[6] In 2012, Shalby acquired Krishna Hospital for an estimated Rs 75 crore, to become the biggest private corporate hospital in Ahmedabad.[7] By 2012 the company had 450 beds in Ahmedabad.[8]
In 2013, Shah claimed the hospital in Ahmedabad and completed an average of 30 joint replacement surgeries a day, at which point they had 705 employees.[9]
During the period 1994–2009, the joint replacement team performed more than 20,000 TKR procedures.[4] The length of surgical time in the hospital had been dramatically reduced from 1 hour and 20 mins per TKR to around 10 to 12 minutes[10] using the "ZERO Technique" invented by Dr. Vikram Shah.[11] Over the years, Shalby has performed over 1,00,000 Joint Replacement Surgeries.[12]
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.[13]
