Techno India DAMA Hospital marked a significant advancement in cardiac and neurovascular care with the grand opening of its state-of-the-art Cath Lab on February 3rd, 2025, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Vasant Panchami (Saraswati Puja). The inauguration of this Next-Generation Cath Lab signifies a major leap forward in the diagnosis and treatment of heart-related ailments, offering new hope and improved outcomes for patients across the region.
The ceremony was graced by Smt. Krishna Chakraborty, Hon’ble Mayor of Bidhannagar, along with prominent medical experts, including Senior Interventional Cardiologists Dr. Arup Das Biswas and Dr. Amal Kumar Khan, and renowned Cardiothoracic Surgeon Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee. Their presence underscored the importance of this new facility for the community.
A Cath Lab, short for Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, is a specialized facility where doctors perform minimally invasive diagnostic tests and procedures to visualize and treat problems of the heart and blood vessels. The newly inaugurated Cath Lab at Techno India DAMA Hospital is equipped with the latest technology, enabling advanced imaging for precise heart diagnosis. This means doctors can get a clearer and more detailed picture of a patient’s heart condition, leading to more accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
One of the most significant advantages of this advanced Cath Lab is its ability to facilitate minimally invasive procedures. These procedures, performed through small incisions, offer several benefits over traditional open-heart surgery, including faster recovery times, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. This translates to a quicker return to normal life for patients, improving their overall quality of life.
Techno India DAMA has assembled a team of expert cardiologists and cardiac specialists who are highly skilled in utilizing the advanced technology of the Cath Lab. Their expertise, combined with the advanced equipment, ensures that patients receive the best possible care. Moreover, DAMA provides 24/7 emergency cardiac care, ensuring that timely intervention is available for critical cases, potentially saving lives.
Prof. Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, Co-Chairperson of Techno India Group, expressed her enthusiasm about this new addition, stating, “This Cath Lab is a testament to our commitment to providing the most advanced healthcare facilities to the people of Kolkata. It will undoubtedly play a crucial role in improving cardiac care and saving lives.”
Dr. Sourav Ghosh highlighted the hospital’s dedication to prioritizing patient well-being, focusing on both clinical outcomes and emotional support. The new unit features advanced pre-Cath test procedures to minimize patient discomfort and reduce complications, alongside counseling services for families navigating complex diagnoses.
The guest doctors commended the hospital’s initiative in bringing cutting-edge cardiac care to the community and acknowledged Techno India DAMA’s consistent efforts in elevating healthcare standards. With OPD services already operational and IPD services set to launch soon, Techno India DAMA continues to strengthen its role as a leader in healthcare, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of care guided by expert Interventional Cardiologists and specialized teams.
With its advanced technology, expert team, and commitment to patient care, DAMA is poised to make a significant impact on the lives of those suffering from heart-related ailments. This remarkable initiative by the Techno India Group reinforces their unwavering commitment to serving the community and pushing the boundaries of healthcare.
