Fiji’s only locally owned private hospital, Pacific Specialist Healthcare (PSH), is set to conduct its first open heart surgery. This announcement was made by PSH’s Director and CEO, Parvish Kumar. He expressed a commitment to assist underprivileged patients who cannot afford the surgery, encouraging them to reach out at p.kumar@psh.com.fj.
To qualify for either fully subsidized or highly discounted procedures, patients must meet specific cardiac requirements. Those interested in the surgery are required to have their angiograms and other necessary medical evaluations completed before contacting Mr. Kumar.
Patients can undergo their angiograms at any medical facility but need to send the reports for assessment via email, along with any other medical documents. PSH offers support in facilitating angiogram services as well.
Mr. Kumar emphasized the importance of direct communication so that individualized care plans can be developed in coordination with the hospital’s cardiac team. The operating theatre at PSH has been recognized for its state-of-the-art technology by visiting cardiologists from India, who have described it as world-class.
PSH’s pricing for open heart surgery is competitive with facilities in India and other countries. The Nadi branch of PSH is conveniently located on Queen’s Highway, across from Nadi International Airport, while the Suva branch can be found at 107 Foster Road, Walu Bay.
At present, cardiac services are exclusively available at the Nadi branch, although other advanced medical procedures, including neurosurgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, and orthopedics, are available at both branches.
PSH aims to deliver high-quality medical care with the latest medical equipment to ensure excellent surgical outcomes and quicker recovery times. Mr. Kumar stated, “At PSH, we value your health and well-being and prioritize prompt treatment to expedite your journey to full recovery.”
