President to inaugurate heart institute

President K R Narayanan will on Thursday inaugurate a multi-specialty heart institute in New Delhi founded in the memory of a dowry victim.

Run by the Ganesh Das Chawla Charitable Trust, the Saroj Hospital was founded by Ganesh Das Chawla in 1969 in the memory of his daughter Saroj, a victim of dowry harassment.

The cardiology team is headed by Dr Deepak Natarajan, cardiologist to the President of India and formerly Chief of Cardiology and Additional Medical Superintendent of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi.

The need to establish the institute, equipped with ultra modern equipment and supported by cardiologists and cardio-vascular surgeons, was felt keeping in mind the prevalence of Ischemia heart disease among 1.4 millions Indians.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday night, Dr Natarajan said cardiac health care will be available through the most modern state of art equipment designed for identifying and diagnosing cardiac ailments.

A state of the art cardiac catherization laboratory has been installed for diagnosis and percutaneous cardiac interventions.
