MALAR HOSPITALS

Malar makes possible high quality care to the public, at affordable costs. With a 250-bed multi speciality hospital and ultra modern care as a norm across the various units in the hospital, Malar Hospitals is emerging as one of the most preferred medical destinations in the country.

One of the novel features in Malar is the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU). The bedside monitors are connected with the IBM computer at the Cardiologists' residence. This feature is the first of its kind in the country. Trauma care also stands as one of the highlights of Malar hospitals. Round-the-clock availability of surgical, nursing and paramedical expertise and equipment is delivered at the Trauma Care. Malar has replaced the conventional EEG (Electro Encyphalo Graph) to digital EEG. It also is equipped with the city's only Brain Mapping System.

Malar is almost synonymous with the Malar Heart Foundation (MHF). Equipped with a highly specialised team of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Anaesthesia and Critical Care, Nurses, Perfusionist and Paramedical Staff, MHF, can handle heart-related complaints with a good success rate. Since its inception in March 1996, more than 1,500 Angiograms and 200 Coronary Interventional Procedures have be done with zero mortality. The success rate for the 1,050 complicated Open Heart Surgeries till date stands at a phenomenal 99.6%. For the first time in the country, MHF performed Autograft Stenting in coronary arteries in April1996. The main attraction towards MHF is attributed to the low mortality and low complication rate.
