VMRT Hospital gets cardiac cath lab

Palampur, December 15

The Vivekananda Medical Research Trust (VMRT) today set up a cardiac cath lab and digital radiography facilities at VMRT Hospital, Palampur.

Shanta Kumar, chairman of the VMRT, inaugurated the lab. Shanta said the commissioning of the lab and the digital radiography facility would raise the standards of medical treatment here where health services were negligible.

He said the cath lab was a necessity as people had to go to Chandigarh and Delhi for heart ailments. The VMRT had installed the latest version of the cath lab that facilitates diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases with minimal invasive tests and procedures. It would be of great help to the common man, he added. — OC
