Fortis Healthcare has announced its vision for its next generation hospital, the ‘Fortis Memorial Research Institute (Fortis Memorial), expected to open shortly in Gurgaon, India.
Commenting on the new concept, Malvinder Singh, Executive Chairman, Fortis Healthcare Limited, said, “This is yet another defining step in our endeavour to bring the ultimate healthcare delivery system to the people of India, a thought originally espoused and evangelised by the late Dr Parvinder Singh, our founder Chairman and father. A comprehensive institute, it is aimed at delivering cutting edge medicine in line with the best in the West. No effort has been spared and every conceivable detail looked into, in the setting up of this next generation hospital, positioned as the healthcare destination facility, in Asia.”
The Fortis Memorial is expected to be a one stop, multi-super speciality quaternary care hospital providing medical excellence. Great attention has been paid to detail, evident in the excellence in design, infrastructure, latest technology, superior functionality and compassionate care delivered with a motive to heal.
Shivinder Singh, Executive Vice Chairman, Fortis Healthcare said, “The new Fortis Memorial Research Institute marks a paradigm shift in our interpretation of the idea of holistic patient care and our quest for excellence. All our efforts are directed at radically improving clinical outcomes with a warm and friendly experience.” He added, “The facility has been designed with great sensitivity, keeping in mind the anxiety and stress that patients and their families undergo and intuitively addresses these emotions. The overall ambience and facilities support total healing with an emphasis on complete cure and effortlessly strings together wellness into the healthcare mainstay.”
In its first phase, Fortis Memorial will have 400 top doctors and more than 1000 nurses to provide the best treatment and care. It is the first hospital in its category to house a full-fledged stem cell lab for cutting edge medical treatment and also offers robotic surgery and organ transplantation for patients. The Fortis Memorial utilises and showcases the latest technologies in use in world class health care. Some of the milestone technologies at the hospital will include the first and only pilot project for precision radio-surgery in the world bringing together the cutting edge expertise of two medical technology giants – Elekta and Brain Lab. The precision radio-surgery system is the first such collaboratively created installation in the world involving both companies. Separately, another leader, Philips Medical systems has also entered into a long term arrangement with Fortis Memorial to develop new technology and methods to treat complex medical conditions.
Other state-of-the-art technologies deployed at the hospital include the 3 T digital MRI, 256-slice CT scan, advanced brain suite, Bi-Plane cath-lab, time-of-flight PET CT, digital mammography, e-ICU, fibro-scan, voice modulated integrated operating rooms and an open diagnostic lab.
Holistic health facilities like a swimming pool for hydrotherapy, a fully equipped gymnasium and spa for health and wellness, several Art ‘n’ Health programmes to recuperate, a mini theatre to de-stress, retail therapy outlets for immediate needs and a food court providing a choice of dining options to replenish energies would also be offered at Fortis Memorial.
