The project adds MH Jaipur to the list of selected zonal and command hospitals to have acquired this niche state of art facility.
(MOREPIC1) This facility coupled with a non-invasive laboratory will cater for comprehensive cardiac care to the needs of troops, dependents and veterans in Jaipur as well as the entire area of responsibility of the command, suffering from acute emergencies and chronic cardiac ailments. Every possible intervention including angiography, angioplasty, pacemakers, shock devices, cardiac desynchronization, coronary imaging, shock therapy, electrophysiology studies and structural cardiac interventions can now be performed at MH Jaipur.
