Yashoda Hospital and Research Centre is where a large share of Ghaziabad’s central government pensioners, retired soldiers, railway employees, and insured salaried families go when they need a specialist without travelling into Delhi. The hospital sits in Nehru Nagar, close to Nehru Stadium and not far from Ghaziabad railway station. It opened in 1990 as a 100-bed hospital and was among the first in western Uttar Pradesh to run a proper intensive care unit. Today it is the flagship of the Yashoda Group, a network of hospitals across Ghaziabad. Its main strengths are critical care, gastroenterology, robotic surgery, mother-and-child services, and cashless treatment under a long list of government health schemes.

Built by a Chest Physician
Dr. Dinesh Arora started his career in a modest family in western Uttar Pradesh. He earned his MBBS in 1971 and his postgraduate degree in 1975 from GSVM Medical College, Kanpur. He specialised in pulmonology, and that background shaped the hospital he opened in 1990.
At the time, people in Ghaziabad and the districts beyond it had to travel to Delhi for anything involving a ventilator or round-the-clock intensive monitoring. Yashoda’s early focus on ICU and critical care filled that gap. Over the early 2000s, the Nehru Nagar hospital added more super specialities. In 2022 it brought in robotic surgery, a significant investment for a hospital outside the big metro chains.
The group has continued to grow. A cancer institute opened in Sanjay Nagar in 2019 and was later expanded to 350 beds. A Vasundhara hospital followed in 2023, and in 2025 the group laid the foundation stone for a 500-bed hospital at Loni, near Hindon Airport. Nehru Nagar remains the original hospital and still handles much of the group’s general and emergency workload.
Finding Your Way to Nehru Nagar
Nehru Nagar is one of Ghaziabad’s older planned residential areas, just east of the railway line. The easiest landmark is Nehru Stadium; the hospital is right beside the stadium’s jogging track. Local auto drivers know it simply as “Yashoda, Nehru Nagar”.
Travellers arriving by train at Ghaziabad Junction are only a few minutes away by auto. Patients coming from Delhi can take the Red Line metro to its Ghaziabad end at Shaheed Sthal (New Bus Adda), or the Namo Bharat rapid rail to Ghaziabad station, and then take an auto for the final stretch. From Noida and Indirapuram, the drive usually runs through Raj Nagar or Hapur Road, depending on traffic.
International patients normally land at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. The drive to Nehru Nagar can take anywhere from 75 minutes to over two hours, depending on the time of day. The Hindon civil terminal in Ghaziabad is much closer, but it handles only a limited number of domestic routes.
Specialities, Grouped by What Brings Patients In
Most people don’t search for a hospital by department name. They search for a problem. Here is how Yashoda’s departments line up with common reasons for a visit.
Breathlessness, persistent cough, snoring, or lung infection. The Pulmonary, Allergy, Sleep and Critical Care Medicine department is the hospital’s oldest area of expertise, going back to the founder’s own speciality. It handles asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and sleep apnoea.
Chest pain, palpitations, or high blood pressure. The Heart Centre covers cardiology and cardiac procedures. Vascular and endovascular surgery handles problems in the arteries and veins.
Acidity, jaundice, liver trouble, or abdominal pain. The Centre for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases works alongside Surgical Gastroenterology for endoscopy, liver care, and digestive tract surgery.
Stroke, seizures, headaches, or back pain. The Centre for Neurosciences, neurointervention, and spine surgery cover the brain, nerves, and spine.
Kidney stones, urinary problems, or kidney failure. The Urology department and the Centre for Renal Sciences and Kidney Transplant handle these.
Pregnancy, fertility, and newborns. Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Centre for Infertility and IVF, and Neonatology and Paediatrics together cover everything from conception to early childhood.
Joint pain, fractures, and sports injuries. The Orthopaedics department and the Centre for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine handle surgery and recovery.
Weight, diabetes, and related complications. The bariatric surgery centre, the diabetes department, and diabetic foot care work as a team.
Cancer. Initial evaluation and some treatment happen here, but the group’s full cancer programme, including radiation oncology, is concentrated at the Sanjay Nagar campus.
Everything else. The hospital also runs General and Laparoscopic Surgery, Laser Surgery (piles, fissures, varicose veins), ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and Cosmetology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dental and Maxillofacial Care, Psychiatry, Internal Medicine, and Anaesthesia and Pain Control.
Robotic Surgery at Nehru Nagar
When Yashoda’s robotic surgery programme opened in 2022, it was one of the few in western Uttar Pradesh outside Delhi’s corporate hospitals. Robotic systems give surgeons a magnified 3D view and instruments that move more precisely than a human wrist. For patients, this usually means smaller cuts, less blood loss, and a shorter hospital stay.
Procedures offered robotically at Yashoda include:
- Gallbladder removal
- Hernia repair
- Hysterectomy
- Prostate removal
- Knee and hip replacement
Worth knowing before you choose robotic surgery:
- It is not automatically better for every patient. Ask the surgeon why it is recommended in your case.
- Costs are usually higher than conventional laparoscopic surgery. Get a written estimate first.
- Insurance coverage for robotic surgery varies. Check with your insurer or TPA before admission.
Services and Diagnostic Support
- 24×7 emergency and trauma care, with a dedicated centre for critical care.
- ICU facilities, carrying forward the hospital’s original strength.
- Diagnostic laboratory, NABL accredited, with online access to reports through the patient portal.
- Radiology and imaging, including CT, MRI, and ultrasound, plus nuclear medicine and PET scans within the group.
- Department of Immunohaematology and Blood Transfusion, for safe blood supply during surgery and emergencies.
- Pathology, covering routine and specialised testing.
- Tele and video consultation, useful for follow-ups and second opinions without travelling.
- International patients desk, which helps overseas patients with estimates, coordination, and admission.
Cashless Treatment Under Government Schemes
This is where Yashoda stands out most. The hospital is empanelled with an unusually wide range of government health programmes, so many families can get treated without paying upfront.
| Scheme | Who It Covers |
| CGHS | Central government employees, pensioners, and dependants |
| ECHS | Ex-servicemen and their dependants |
| CAPF | Central Armed Police Forces personnel |
| ESI | Workers insured under the Employees’ State Insurance scheme |
| Railways | Railway employees and pensioners |
| UP Police | Uttar Pradesh Police personnel |
| Delhi Police | Delhi Police personnel |
| DGHS | Delhi Government Health Scheme beneficiaries |
| UPPCL | Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation employees |
| NDMC | New Delhi Municipal Council employees |
| DJB | Delhi Jal Board employees |
How to use scheme coverage smoothly:
- Get the referral from your wellness centre, polyclinic, or dispensary before a planned visit, where the scheme requires one.
- Carry your scheme card, ID proof, and the referral letter on the first visit.
- Ask the TPA or scheme desk at the hospital which procedures need prior approval.
- Keep copies of every bill and discharge summary, since some schemes reimburse certain items separately.
The hospital also works with major private insurers for cashless treatment, including Star Health, HDFC ERGO, Niva Bupa, ICICI Lombard, and Bajaj Allianz.
The Nehru Nagar Hospital and Its Sister Campuses
The Yashoda Group runs several hospitals in Ghaziabad, and they don’t all offer the same services. Knowing which campus handles what can save a wasted trip:
- Nehru Nagar (this hospital): the original multi-speciality hospital, with emergency care, critical care, robotic surgery, gastroenterology, and mother-and-child services. Phone: 0120-4182000.
- Sanjay Nagar, Sector 23: Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital & Cancer Institutes, the group’s 350-bed cancer and super speciality hospital. Phone: 0120-4612000.
- Vasundhara, Sector 15: Yashoda Hospital & Cancer Institute, which is closer for patients from East Delhi and the Indirapuram area. Phone: 0120-4466000.
The name also causes confusion outside the group. Yashoda Hospitals in Hyderabad is an unrelated chain, and there are other hospitals in Ghaziabad with “Yashoda” in their names that run under separate managements. Check the address before booking.
Small Things That Make a Visit Easier
- Book OPD appointments by phone or WhatsApp rather than walking in, especially for popular consultants.
- Carry previous reports on paper or your phone. Doctors need earlier scans and prescriptions.
- Check your reports on the patient portal so you don’t have to go back to collect them.
- Sort out scheme or insurance paperwork early for planned surgery. Approvals can take a day or more.
- Use video consultation for routine follow-ups if the doctor agrees. It saves a trip through Ghaziabad traffic.
- Confirm the campus if a doctor refers you to “Yashoda”. Cancer patients are often referred to Sanjay Nagar rather than Nehru Nagar.
- Ask for a written estimate before any procedure, and ask what is excluded, such as implants, medicines, or extra ICU days.
