ILS Hospitals, operated under GPT Healthcare Limited, is a 25-year-old multi-specialty hospital chain headquartered in Kolkata with five owned facilities spanning West Bengal (Saltlake, Dumdum, Howrah), Tripura (Agartala), and Chhattisgarh (Raipur, inaugurated May 2025). The chain delivers a full-stack clinical portfolio across more than 30 departments, anchored in cardiology with interventional and surgical capabilities, neurology with 24x7 stroke management, oncology (medical, surgical, radiation), orthopaedics, bariatric and metabolic surgery, nephrology with kidney transplantation, IVF and fertility, critical care with an advanced cath lab, and routine diagnostics. Differentiated technology assets include the Versius robotic surgical system (CMR Surgical) and Mako robotic arm-assisted joint replacement (launched March 2025), supported by CT, MRI, digital subtraction angiography, and PET scan capabilities, alongside dialysis and cochlear implant programs.

The business monetizes through per-episode hospital services — inpatient admissions, outpatient consultations, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, emergency care, and bundled health-check packages — with pay-as-you-go billing across consultation, diagnostic, and procedure tiers. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer through walk-ins, emergency services, online appointment booking via a patient portal, and insurance/TPA partnerships, complemented by local SEO, regional and national media coverage, and patient testimonials. The organization also runs a senior care sub-brand (SPARSH), international patient services, and academic programs (ILS Nursing Institute in Agartala, dialysis and pathology technician courses), creating an internal talent pipeline alongside the clinical operation. Leadership is anchored by founder and Medical Director Dr. Om Tantia and a small set of nationally credentialed specialists.

The Times of India79-year-old swallows button in sleep, safe after op at city hospA 79-year-old man from Patna, who had swallowed a kurta button while asleep, was successfully treated at ILS Hospitals in Kolkata after the button was discovered lodged in his left lower lobe bronchus during a bronchoscopy procedure. The patient, who was suffering from recurrent chest infection, sepsis, and severe pneumonia, has shown remarkable improvement following the removal. The pulmonology team highlighted that the case demonstrates the importance of timely diagnosis and advanced interventional pulmonology in managing complex non-resolving pneumonia cases.The Times of IndiaGift of life: HC OKs kidney transplants after ‘suspicion’ refusal by govt panelCalcutta High Court on March 6 directed the state health department's authorisation committee to grant permission for two unrelated kidney donors within 24 hours, after the committee had rejected the patients' transplant applications based on general suspicion despite police and SDO verification finding no financial wrongdoing. The transplants for a woman from Madhya Pradesh at ILS Hospital and a woman from Narendrapur at Belle Vue Clinic were stalled without written justification from the committee. Justice Krishna Rao criticized the committee for rejecting the requests in a "flimsy manner" when donors had provided affidavits and no financial transactions were found during verification.The Times of IndiaHealth commission sees red in 26.6 lakh hospital bill in 33 daysThe West Bengal Clinical Establishment Regulatory Commission (WBCERC) found a Rs 26,64,000 bill from ILS Hospital Howrah for a 33-day treatment to be "unethically" high, with the hospital unable to justify charges including Rs 2,41,000 in doctor visit fees and over Rs 11 lakh for medicines and consumables despite no surgical intervention. The commission directed the hospital to deposit the entire amount in a fixed deposit pending analysis by a high-power committee formed by the Director Health Services. The hospital had previously refunded only Rs 39,000 after being asked to waive a reasonable amount, prompting the commission to vow zero tolerance in the matter.
