CELEBRATING 32 YEARS OF SELFLESS SERVICE

With the Divine Blessings of Swami, a state-of-the-art Catheterisation Laboratory worth Rs. 4.2 Crore was inaugurated by Sri RJ Rathnakar (Managing Trustee, SSSCT) along with Trustees Sri K Chakravarthi,  Sri SS Naganand and Sri Nimish Pandya (AIP, SSSSO) at the Cardiology Department of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Prasanthigram today. Dr Gurumurthy (Director, SSSIHMS-PG), Dr V.R Iyer (HoD, Cardiology) and other senior staff were present on the occasion. 
Cath Lab is a specialised facility used to provide minimal invasive advanced cardiac procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. Philips Azurion Cath Lab is the Next-Gen image-guided intuitive therapy platform, that has unique features like Dynamic Coronoray Roadmap, Digital Subtraction Angiography, reduced radiation dose and total control of the Cathlab at table side to name a few. These features make the system more efficient and hence patient diagnosis and treatment easier. 
The Advanced Cath Lab is the second major addition to SSSIHMS-PG this year. Just a month ago a new Heart Lung Machine was inaugurated at the hospital. Sri RJ Rathnakar said that in Swami’s hospital we have the best doctors and the best equipment to provide the best of the patient care totally free of charge to all. Swami’s hospitals stand as beacons of hope to humanity especially for the poor and the needy. As the trustees of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust it is our commitment to see the institutions established by Bhagawan Baba grow and prosper with every passing day and provide better care to the people.

Two DNB Trainees of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Prasanthigram, Puttaparthi have secured the National Board of Examinations, Gold Medals for the year 2020. Dr. Yogi Sundar Rao Chaganti topped in the Cardio Vascular Thoracic Surgery stream, while Dr. Anuj Dumra came first in the Urology stream. The Urology Gold medal is named after Dr. H S Bhatt, considered a doyen of Urology in India, who had set up the Department of Urology at the SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram.
 This is the first time that the hospital has received two gold medals in the same year.
 Speaking on the occasion the Director of the SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram, Dr Gurumurthy said that the two gold medals in the same year were a testament to the high quality training provided by the hospital. “The SSSIHMS, Prasanthigram has the state-of-the-art equipment along with skilled manpower, which makes it the best place for any student trying to leave a mark in the their respective specialties,” Dr. Gurumurthy said. “As the patient care has imbibed principles of health care as affirmed by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the trainees apart from the technical skills also learn the soft skills of treating the patients with love and compassion. This makes Bhagawan Baba’s hospital unique and different from other institutions. Here credit goes to the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust, which has continued to provide support to the hospital in every way,” Dr Gurumurthy said.
 Both Dr. Anuj Dumra and Dr Yogi Chaganti conveyed their gratitude first to their parents to have helped them to reach the place they are today. ” In any walk of life the blessings of the parents is of great importance and it is with their efforts and sacrifices that we both are where we are,” they said.
