AMRI Hospitals is a for-profit private hospital chain which is headquartered in the city of Kolkata, West Bengal, India. In September 2023, Manipal Hospitals acquired a majority stake (84%) in the company.[1]
With hospitals accredited by NABH, the company has 3 units in Kolkata (Dhakuria, Salt Lake and Mukundapur), 1 clinic in Kolkata (Southern Avenue) and 1 unit in Bhubaneshwar in the Indian State of Odisha. It had also opened a health center in Dhaka for its Bangladeshi patients.[2]
History
The Emami Group invested in hospitals with Shrachi Group through an invitation from Shrachi Group's Shrawan Kumar Todi, a family friend. The Government of West Bengal handed control of a polyclinic in Dhakuria to AMRI Hospitals in the early 90s.[3]
AMRI Hospitals was co-founded by the Emami Group and Shrachi Group in 1996, two of Kolkata's developing groups, in a partnership with the Government of West Bengal to expand health coverage options for consumers.[4] It was a centre for training students from the Institute of Radiology and Medical Imaging. The hospital chain was/is ISO 9001:2000 certified.[5]
In 2006, AMRI Hospitals acquired Suraksha Hospitals, and renamed it as AMRI Hospitals, Salt Lake. After 2 years, the hospital was merged to leverage operational synergies by forming AMRI Hospitals.[6] The Emami group acquired 32% stake of Shrachi Group in AMRI Hospitals in the year 2014.[7]
In September 2023, Manipal Hospitals announced that it had acquired 80% of AMRI Hospitals for ₹2400 crores.[8] On May 15, 2024, AMRI Hospitals was absorbed and integrated into the 'Manipal' brand.[9]

Legal controversies
Anuradha Saha case
On 24 October 2013, the Supreme Court of India ordered AMRI Hospitals to pay compensation for medical negligence at their hospital in Kolkata that led to the death of Anuradha Saha, a US-based child psychologist, on 28 May 1998. The court described the standard of medical care at the hospital as "abysmal",[11] and wrote that the court's decision was intended as a "deterrent and a reminder" to the medical community.[12][13] The compensation, which with interest came to Rs. 11.41 crore (US$1.86 million in 2013), was the highest ever awarded by an Indian court for medical negligence.[14]
Fire incident
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". A fire at the hospital occurred at Dhakuria in South Kolkata in the early morning of 9 December 2011.[4] The fire was due to a short circuit in the electrical system. Ninety-five people, including members of the staff, died due to asphyxiation. Six board members were then released on bail after a temporary arrest.[15] The Dhakuria Unit of AMRI Hospitals reopened operations two years later after it received clearance in November 2013.[16]
