SMS hospital has more heart surgeries than AIIMS even though
here Cath lab has lesser machines than AIIMS
The most surgeries including pacemaker, angioplasty,
angiography and other heart surgery etc have been performed at SMS hospital
within the country. Until now AIIMS Delhi used to be number one in this field.
Even in South India there has not been such large number of surgeries in any
hospital.
The numbers tell the truth -
There were 4446 angiographies at AIIMS last year, Stent and
angioplasty were 1225, permanent pacemaker were 300, mitral volvotomy were 351,
IE total heart surgeries amounted to 6378 at AIIMS last year. At SMS there were
5731 angiography, 2888 ptca, 290 ppie, 210 ptmc and 17 patients were RAFA. So
that amounted to 9136 patients in a year.
There are renowned cardiologists here at SMS and patients not
only from Rajasthan but from UP, Punjab, Haryana, MP, and Delhi are coming to
get treated here. Because of various government policies also many patients
prefer coming here. But on other hand AIIMS Cath lab has four machines whereas
SMS has two machines only which makes the patients wait for their turn. Also
there is shortage of staff.
Dr. SM Sharma of SMS hospital shares that there is no disease
that we cannot treat and if we get some more machines and are not short staffed
we can perform much better.
