'''The Krishna Heart and Super Specialty Institute''', also known as '''Krishna Heart Institute''' or '''Krishna Hospital''', located in [[Ahmedabad]], [[India]], was established in 2000 as a high-end medical facility, specialising in [[heart diseases]]. The hospital expanded its field of work into different medical branches and has performed over 25,000 procedures including 4,000 [[Coronary artery bypass surgery|bypass]] surgeries. The hospital was acquired by [[Shalby hospital|Shalby Ltd.]] in 2012. It is a facility that seeks to gain income from the increase seen in [[medical tourism in India]].

==History==
Krishna Hospital was the first corporate hospital to be located in [[Ahmedabad]].<ref name=TOI /> It was conceived by Dr. Atul Chokshi, an [[interventional cardiologist]] practising in [[New York City]], his brother Animesh Chokshi and 100 other doctors, most of them living in the United States.<ref name=TOI /> Dr. Chokshi being a devote of the Hind deity [[Krishna]] and a reader of [[Bhagavad Gita]], named the establishment "Krishna Heart Institute".<ref name="Congress2010">{{cite book|author=U S Congress|title=Congressional Record, V. 151, PT. 17, October 7 to 26, 2005|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=74brGsoymBoC&pg=RA2-PA210|date=January 2010|publisher=Government Printing Office|isbn=978-0-16-084825-4|page=210}}</ref>

Krishna Hospital is partnered with MedSolution, a [[medical tourism]] company located in [[Vancouver|Vancouver, British Columbia]], Canada.<ref name=Medsolutions>{{cite web|title=Trapped by surgical waitlist?|url=http://www.medsolution.com/pdf/MedSolution_CanWaitlists.pdf|website=Medsolutions.com|publisher=MedSolutions|accessdate=31 October 2015}}</ref> It was built with a capacity of 140 beds and specialised operating theaters.<ref name=TOI />

===Acquisition by Shalby===
The number of patients treated by Krishna Hospital declined. In October 2012, [[Shalby Hospital|Shalby Ltd.]] announced that they had acquired 86% of the share in Yogeshwar Healthcare Ltd. which ran the Krishna Hospital. The cost of the acquisition was not revealed, but was speculated to be around {{INRConvert|75|c}}-{{INRConvert|80|c}}. Krishna Hospital would now serve as a place to direct the over-flow of the patients from Shalby hospital. A plan to renovate the hospital was passed and 110 beds were to be added to the 140-bed hospital.<ref name=TOI>{{cite news|last1=Sharma|first1=Radha|title=Shaby buys Krishna Hospital for Rs 75 corral |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Shalby-buys-Krishna-Hospital-for-Rs-75-crore/articleshow/16858149.cms |accessdate=31 October 2015 |work=Times of India |publisher=Times group |date=18 October 2012 |location=Ahmedabad}}</ref>
