Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday inaugurated Peerless Hospital’s new super-speciality facility in Guwahati, marking a major milestone in healthcare access for Assam and the Northeast.
Located at Ahom Gaon near ISBT, the 250-bed Peerless Hospital is equipped with advanced diagnostics, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and a team of experienced specialists.
The hospital aims to ease the burden of medical travel for patients from Assam and neighbouring states who often seek critical and super-speciality care outside the region.
“Assam is fast emerging as a model state in healthcare, and with the arrival of Peerless, we take another significant step toward strengthening tertiary care in the Northeast,” said Sarma at the inauguration event.
The Guwahati facility is the latest expansion by Peerless Hospital, which has served over 1.2 crore patients through its flagship institution in Kolkata since 1994.
With 100 beds operational at launch and plans to expand to 300 by 2026, the new hospital will offer a comprehensive range of specialties, including cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, nephrology, oncology, and critical care.
Jayanta Roy, Managing Director of Peerless General Finance and Investment Company Ltd, and promoter of Peerless Hospital Group, said the Guwahati unit reflects the group’s long-standing commitment to accessible and ethical healthcare.
“Our mission is to serve, heal, and grow with the people of Assam. With this hospital, we bring over three decades of clinical excellence closer to home,” he said.

The new centre is expected to significantly reduce the financial and emotional burden faced by patients from states like Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram, who frequently travel to metro cities for treatment.
Peerless Hospital’s Kolkata unit, a 500-bed NABH and NABL accredited facility, is known for its pioneering medical work in Eastern India. Its reputation is built on high-quality care, patient-first ethics, and innovations ranging from robotic surgeries to gene therapy.
