Mukat Hospital and Heart Institute, a leading and prestigious institution in the field of cardiac sciences, has once again embraced cutting-edge technology by launching the Philips Azurion Cath Lab. The cath lab is available only at a few locations in India, and this technology marks a significant achievement in the corporate healthcare sector of Chandigarh. The Philips Azurion technology from the Netherlands offers the highest precision, safety, and efficiency in image-guided interventional procedures with the least radiation, making it possible to perform complex heart, vascular, and neurological procedures more effectively.
