The hospital informs that it has collaborations with John Hopkins, MD Anderson Cancer Centre, Massachusetts General Hospital and University of Southern California. It also boasts of state-of-the-art operation theatres equipped with robotic surgery and on-line video conferencing, a hybrid cath-lab, and high-end diagnostics facility. Reportedly, the hospital is also equipped with high-end Obstetrics & Gynaecology services, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a learning centre, adapting the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations.
The hospital also claims an outreach programme that apparently covers over 310,000 individuals in the vicinity providing preventive and primary healthcare on a digital platform virtually free of costs. It has initiated steps to adopt the nearby congested areas as part of PM’s Swachch Bharat Abhiyan.
The hospital informs that it has adopted green measures such as water recycling and rainwater harvesting. The hospital’s digital initiatives include RFID tags for patients, end-to-end digitisation of medical records and real-time remote access to these records.
