Sri Ramakrishna Hospital (SRH) – Coimbatore, run by SNR Sons Charitable Trust has become the very first in Tamil Nadu and only the fifth in India to receive the prestigious AHA- American Heart Association Comprehensive Chest Pain Center certification.
Sundar Ramakrishnan, Managing Trustee of SNR Sons Charitable Trust, officially announced the recognition on Saturday, ahead of the press conference held in the hospital.
“Securing this certification required clearing rigorous inspection standards set by the AHA. This is a reassurance to both patients and their families that we have the best facilities and best cardiologists,” said Sundar Ramakrishnan at the press meet.
“We provide world class cardiac care 365/24. To support this mission, our hospital operates 4 advanced cath labs and we also house all the necessary advanced equipment for delivering excellent care right here,” said Dr.Balaji, Sr. Interventional Cardiologist of the hospital.
While leading global organizations set a gold standard guideline of 90 mins to take an ECG, shift the emergency chest pain patient to the cath lab, and perform an angioplasty to clear the blocked artery, SRH beats that benchmark. It delivers these treatments in under 60 mins for most cases.
