He said Max would also continue to make available its super specialists in different fields through periodic camps to the patients in Ludhiana and elsewhere in Punjab as a social commitment of the corporate sector. However, the treatment and surgical procedures would continue to be carried out in Delhi till the time necessary infrastructure, equipment and trained professionals were available at the local hospitals, which had a tie-up with Max Healthcare. “The clinical neuroscience programme at Max is committed and focused to provide the best possible treatment to the largest possible patient base across the country. The Max Institute of Neurosciences has the latest brain monitoring techniques and 24-hour neuro-anesthesia cover, acute stroke unit, outpatient (day care) and neurosurgery centre. But apart from the infrastructure, what truly distinguishes us is the firm belief that while delivering the highest standards of care we must never forget the basic human values of compassion and caring with integrity and to the best of our ability.” According to Dr Jha, Max Healthcare’s flagship tertiary care hospital at Saket was a two-phase project, with the first hospital — Max Devki Dcvi Heart and Vascular Institute — already operational for more than a year.
