Metro Hospital: Bringing comprehensive and affordable heart treatments

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths in India. Studies have shown that one in every four deaths is due to CVDs and this is mainly caused by increasing prevalence of the risk factors that include poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, uncontrolled high BP, obesity and more. The result is detrimental, affecting patients in the most crucial years of their life, leading to tragic consequences. However, the people from low and middle-income families have to go through the worst, with insufficient financial resources to undergo the necessary treatment.

Endeavouring to bring quality healthcare at affordable price, the government has been launching new schemes and policies. On the other hand, initiatives from private hospitals are pouring in as well. For instance, Metro Hospital and Heart Institute, one of the leading private chain of hospitals in India, has been striving to provide advanced medical care at much affordable prices.

The services it offers are far-reaching. At an economical price of Rs 4,500, Metro Hospital offers a comprehensive Heart Check-up that includes doctor’s consultation, blood tests, urine examination, Electrocardiograph (ECG), Chest X-ray, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), Treadmill Test (TMT), Colour Doppler Echocardiography and final consultation with Physician & Cardiologist. On top of this, the hospital offers ambulance services, 24*7 pathology services, radiology services and many more.

Though, recognised mainly for its state-of-the-art cardiology department, the hospital also boasts of outstanding specialists in other areas as well such as Respiratory, Gastroenterology, Oncology, Orthopaedic Joint replacement, etc.

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute has been established with a vision of making advanced medical care accessible to allby keeping the cost a bare minimum. “Our focus has always been on the patients of the lower and middle sections of society and those who are rejected by the large corporate hospital,” said Dr Purshotam Lal, Chairman of the hospital.

In addition, on important health days such as the World Heart Day, the hospital organises workshops to raise awareness among people, and conducts free heart check-ups. Last year, on the occasion of World Heart Day, it organised free heart check-up for a week. The free services that it offered included Consultation, Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure, Height and Weight, ECG and ECHO Screening. It also offered treatments like Angioplasty and Angiography at a minimised rate so that people from the middle-class families can avail them.

Taking cardiovascular disease treatment up a notch, Metro Hospital and Heart Institute brings comprehensive heart surgeries within the reach of India’s middle-class section through a dedicated team of doctors and health professionals offering wide-ranging  services at a minimised cost.
