Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH), Fiji’s only locally owned private hospital, is set to perform its inaugural open-heart surgery. This announcement was made by PSH’s Director and Chief Executive Officer, Parvish Kumar.
To assist underprivileged patients who cannot afford this critical surgery, Kumar encourages them to reach out via email at p.kumar@psh.com.fj. There are some criteria that patients must meet to qualify for either a fully subsidized procedure or a significantly reduced rate, including specific cardiac health requirements.
Patients are advised to have their angiogram and all necessary medical evaluations completed before contacting Kumar for further arrangements. They can get their angiogram done at any facility but must send the reports for assessment by email, along with any additional medical records.
For individuals seeking angiogram services, they are also invited to get in touch with PSH. Kumar has emphasized the importance of direct communication so tailored plans can be made for patients who require cardiology services in collaboration with his cardiac team.
The operating theatre at PSH is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and has received praise from visiting cardiologists from India, who regard it as world-class. The costs for open-heart surgeries at PSH are competitive with prices in India and other regions.
PSH’s Nadi branch is conveniently situated on the Queen’s Highway, opposite Nadi International Airport, while the Suva branch can be found at 107 Foster Road, Walu Bay. It’s important to note that cardiac services are available solely at the Nadi location. However, advanced procedures in neurosurgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, and orthopedics are available at both branches.
PSH is committed to providing the highest quality medical care with cutting-edge equipment, ensuring successful surgical outcomes and quicker recovery times. Kumar stated, “At PSH, we value your health and well-being and prioritize prompt treatment to expedite your journey to full recovery.”
