Westbank hospital ties up with two heart centres

KOLKATA - Private healthcare provider Westbank Hospital Saturday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with two leading heart treatment centres for providing cardio thoracic services at its soon-to-be launched multi speciality hospital near here.

The tie-up with Narayana Hrudayala and Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences (RTIICS) would help the hospital to give quality cardiac care at affordable prices, Westbank Hospital chairman Bicky Chakraborty said.

While speaking to reporters about the shortage of doctors that the Indian health industry is facing, Devi Shetty, who is promoting the two heart centres said: “To cope with the shortage of doctors the best way is to build more medical colleges.”
