Tirath Ram Shah Hospital was perhaps one of the two or three hospitals of that size in the private charitable sector in Northern India. It soon became a landmark in the health care delivery scenario of Delhi with people like Col. V R Mirarjkar, a famous surgeon from Lahore and Col. Ameer Chand, an eminent figure of medicine in north India together with Rai Bahadur Dr. Mathura Das Pahwa the famed Eye surgeon of Punjab.

The Idea of constituting a charitable trust to run a hospital was envisaged for the first time in 1949 just after the partition of the country. At this juncture the city of Delhi had just started to grow and was in the theories of multi dimensional expansion. A charitable trust was created by a famous industrial family of Sawhneys, initiated by Lala Ishwer Das Sawhney. He was head of the family at that time to commemorate the memory of their ancestors late Lala Tirath Ram Shah.
