The Tibetan Delek Hospital is a 45 bed hospital in Dharamsala, India, founded by His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 1971 to provide health care to the Tibetan and local Indian communities in the foothills of the Himalayas.

The hospital has a TB ward, maternal and child health care programs, as well as community outreach programs assisting people with drug and alcohol dependence and issues of living in poverty.

The hospital was the subject of a study on the quality of obstetric care in a refugee population and a clinical audit has shown improvement in the quality of obstetric care.
