Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital (formerly known as Willingdon Hospital) is a hospital in New Delhi, India, operated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India. Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences (formerly the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, New Delhi), which offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses, is attached to this hospital

Established in 1932 by the British Raj as Willingdon Hospital, it was designed to serve their personnel and initially accommodated 54 beds. In 1954, following India's independence, control of the hospital was transferred to the Central Government's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. In the 1970s, the hospital was renamed after Ram Manohar Lohia, a leading proponent of socialist ideology in India.

The hospital spans 30 acres (12 hectares), including 4 acres (1.6 hectares) dedicated to a nurses' hostel. Strategically located, it features a 71-bed nursing home for beneficiaries of the Central Government Health Scheme and offers extensive subspecialty care.

Annually, the hospital serves approximately 1.2 million outpatients, admits around 46,000 patients, and attends to about 150,000 emergency cases. With a capacity of 1,420 beds, it performs nearly 10,000 CT scans, 2,000 MRI scans, 200,000 X-rays, 2.8 million laboratory tests, 25,000 ultrasound scans, and conducts about 9,000 major and 40,000 minor surgeries each year. Additionally, the hospital operates dedicated daily OPDs exclusively for Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries.

The hospital also plans to expand its capacity to approximately 3,000 beds, surpassing the capacity of Safdarjung Hospital.
