Fiji’s First Open Heart Surgery: A Lifeline for the Underserved

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 the hospital’s Director and Chief Executive Officer, Parvish Kumar.

Kumar has expressed willingness to assist underprivileged individuals who may struggle to afford this critical surgery, encouraging them to reach out via email at p.kumar@psh.com.fj. To qualify for either a fully subsidized procedure or a reduced-rate option, patients must meet certain requirements, including specific cardiac health conditions.

Patients interested in undergoing this procedure need to complete an angiogram and other necessary medical evaluations. They should send their angiogram reports and any relevant medical documentation to Kumar for assessment.

For those seeking angiogram services, PSH is also available to facilitate this. Kumar emphasized the need for direct contact so he can tailor specific care plans alongside his cardiac team.

The modern operating theatre at PSH is equipped with the latest technology and has received praise from visiting cardiologists from India for its world-class standards. The costs for open heart surgeries at PSH are competitive with rates found in India and other countries.

PSH’s Nadi branch is conveniently located on Queen’s Highway, opposite Nadi International Airport, while the Suva branch can be found at 107 Foster Road, Walu Bay. Cardiac services are exclusively available at the Nadi location, while other advanced medical services, including neuro surgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, and orthopedics are provided at both branches.

PSH is committed to delivering high-quality medical care with cutting-edge equipment to ensure excellent surgical outcomes and quicker recovery times. “At PSH, we value your health and well-being and prioritize prompt treatment to expedite your journey to full recovery,” stated Mr. Kumar.
