Palampur, December 11

The Cardiac Cath Lab will be operational at Vivekananda Medical and Research Trust (VMRT) hospital in Palampur from December 15.

Former Chief Minister Shanta Kumar, who is also the chairman of the VMRT, said the entire equipment had already been imported and its installation was in progress.

Shanta Kumar said the installation of the lab was delayed by a year because of the pandemic but now it would be functional on December 15. A cardiologist had already joined and angiography and angioplasty procedures would be started the same day.

“The new lab will be of great help to the people of Kangra, Mandi, Una, Hamirpur, and Chamba”, he added. — OC
