Speaking at the launch, Dr. Poorna Chandran, Medical Superintendent, Fortis Hospital Vadapalani said “the pandemic has posed a great challenge to the healthcare sector for the past two years. It disrupted the healthcare treatment forthe semi-urban and rural patients leading to an upsurge in morality among patients who are suffering from NCDs or other curable disease as patients avoided hospital visits for months together and were later diagnosed with serious illness in advanced stages.”
He further said that “This new information centre will provide best-in-class medical treatment within reach under the supervision of senior medical experts. Hence request the patients not to delay their treatment any further. Prevention and timely treatment help to enhance the life expectancy of patients.”
