Srinagar, Nov 21: Paras Health, Srinagar, recently honoured with the Bronze Award for Smart & Future-Ready Heart Care Hospital at the IHW Smart Hospitals & Diagnostics Awards, is proud to reaffirm its commitment to quality cardiac care. In celebration of World Heart Day, Paras Health is extending exclusive offers on essential cardiac procedures, promoting proactive heart health within the community.

A statement issued by hospital said that until 31st December, patients can benefit from discounted rates on several essential cardiac procedures, including angiography at Rs. 10,000, pacemaker implantation for Rs. 55,000, and angioplasty (PTCA) for just Rs. 78,000. These rates are all-inclusive, except for the cost of the implant in pacemaker procedures and stents in angioplasty, which will be determined based on a patient’s clinical needs following an evaluation.

With a recent milestone of over 300 successful cardiac surgeries and procedures, Paras Health’s track record demonstrates its dedication to delivering high-quality, patient-centric cardiac care across Jammu & Kashmir. This achievement reinforces the hospital’s contribution in the field of heart health services in the valley, staffed by an expert team and equipped with a state-of-the-art cath lab, 24/7 emergency response, and advanced critical care unit.

A key component of Paras Health’s success in cardiac intervention is its focus on the “golden hour” — the critical first 60 minutes following a cardiac event when timely medical intervention can drastically improve survival rates and recovery outcomes. Trained to respond swiftly and precisely, Paras Health’s emergency team utilizes the hospital’s modern cath lab and intensive care infrastructure to provide immediate, life-saving treatment within this crucial time frame.
