What is unique about us?

The concept of a specialty center in a field incorporates medical care given at a much higher level: specialized, customized, and geared up towards difficult and complicated situations. A committed team, maintaining the highest level of competence, updated knowledge and communication, offers comprehensive 360-degree care from the point of contact. Unlike other healthcare models where providers change, in this Specialty center one team takes care of out-patient, in-patient, intensive care unit, Interventional pulmonary procedures and domiciliary home-based care.

Our center also understands the difficulties patients and relatives face in modern urban busy and overworked lives, which get disrupted when healthcare needs arise. We also value your time and understanding the practical difficulties in travel, we try our best to maximize every outpatient visit, with relevant tests done the same day and reviewed to form a management plan.
