Mangalore, May 10, 2012: Indiana Hospital MD Dr. Yusuf Kumble said at a press conference held in the premises of the hospital on May 10, Thursday that the Indian Hospital and Heart Institute, a new super specialty hospital adhering to global standards, will be inaugurated by D. V. Sadananda Gowda, the chief minister of Karnataka, on May 12, 2012 with Veerappa Moily, the union minister for corporate affairs, presiding.
Further, he said that, in spite of being the state’s medical hub, Mangalore has no facilities to deal with a number of medical disorders. The medical condition in Mangalore has been stagnant for the past 10 – 15 years, and people have to rush to Bangalore to get treatment for children’s cardiac ailments, liver transplantation, and others. The new Indiana Hospital provides a staff of qualified doctors and emergency services, he added.
Speaking about the facilities at Indiana Hospital, he said that Indiana Hospital and Heart Institute will offer comprehensive health solutions usually found at some of the best hospitals in the world. The medical team at Indiana comprises physicians, surgeons, and health care professionals with the highest qualifications and experience.
He also added that these facilities and services, although of global standards, are highly affordable.
The new hospital boasts of facilities for joint replacement, interventional cardiac procedures, high risk obstetrics with level 3 NICU, birth suits, accident and emergency care, and much more. The hospital also has specialty and super specialty departments, he said.
Dr. Ali Kumble, the chairman of the hospital; Dr. Sathish, the vice president of operations; Dr. Hameed Ali, the coordinator; and Dr. Raviraj were also present.
