Paras Healthcare, one of the country’s leading healthcare providers, has opened a multi-super specialty hospital here.

A 232-bed hospital providing comprehensive cancer care facilities ranging from chemotherapy, surgical oncology, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine has been opened aiming to fill the specialised tertiary care gap in the under-served region. The radiation oncology will include the latest third generation technology of LINAC and will provide precision radiotherapy along with VMAT, IGRT and IMRT.

In all, the hospital provides 32 specialties and centres of excellence consisting of cardiac sciences, oncology, neurosciences, orthopaedics and joint replacement, nephrology and kidney transplant, gastroenterology and GI surgery to name a few.

Dr Dharminder Nagar, managing director, Paras Healthcare, said this hospital would also cater to patients from adjoining cities such as Shimla, Saharanpur, Karnal, Sangrur, etc., who currently have to travel all the way to Mohali to seek specialised medical facilities in private sector. With this facility, they aim to fill a major void in the availability of specialised tertiary care to people of the region.
