Heart problems are on the rise. Sedentary lifestyle, stress, unhealthy food habits all have contributed to the rise in heart problems. To solve these heart-related problems, Howrah’s Sanjiban Hospital has designed a new Cath Lab unit with the latest types of equipment.

The Cath Lab unit was inaugurated by parliamentarian and Bengali actor Dev. Also gracing the occasion was MLA of Uluberia Uttor, Dr. Nirmal Maji, MLA of Uluberia Purba constituency Shri. Bidesh Ranjan Bose, and Uluberia Municipality Chairman Mr. Abhay Das.

Sanjiban Hospital’s Cath lab unit has been used for angiography and angioplasty diagnosis and pacemaker implementation of more than 400 patients in the last four months. Now the entire Lab has been revamped in such a way that it could cater to even more patients. The lab is equipped with a Philips Allura Xper FD10 biplane X-ray system.

This new Cath Lab facility is absolutely free of cost for all Swasthya Sathi Card Holders. Other patients will have to pay an affordable fee for availing of the facility.
