History
The hospital, located in Ahmedabad, was established in 1994 as a small 6-bed single specialty unit that offered Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. By 2007, it had become a 200-bed multi-specialty hospital. It would later offer care in over 40 medical disciplines ranging from cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, trauma, cosmetology to ENT. The hospital were certified by National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH) in March 2010, six months after applying for accreditation. In 2011 it acquired a 55 per cent stake in the Vrundavan Hospital in Goa, which had 120 beds across two units. In 2012 Shalby acquired Krishna Hospital for an estimated Rs 75 crore, to become the biggest private corporate hospital in Ahmedabad. By 2012 the company had 450 beds in Ahmedabad.
In 2013, Shah claimed the hospital in Ahmedabad completed an average of 30 joint replacement surgeries a day, at which point they had 705 employees. By the end of 2013, the organisation had treated 975 patients from abroad during that year.
During the period 1994–2009, the joint replacement team performed more than 20,000 TKR procedures. The length of surgical time in the hospital had been dramatically reduced from 1 hour, 20 mins per TKR to around 10–12 minutes using the "ZERO Technique" invented by Dr. Vikram Shah. 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. By late 2016, the organisation claimed to have performed more than 85,000 joint replacement procedures.
