Fiji’s sole 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 Chief Executive Officer, Parvish Kumar. He has extended an invitation to underprivileged individuals who cannot afford this crucial surgery to reach out to him via email at p.kumar@psh.com.fj.
To qualify for either a fully free procedure or a significantly subsidized rate, patients need to meet specific cardiac criteria. They are advised to have their angiograms performed and to complete all necessary medical assessments prior to contacting Mr. Kumar.
Patients may have their angiograms done at any medical facility but must send their reports for evaluation via email, alongside all relevant medical documentation. Those interested in angiogram services can also reach out to PSH for assistance. Personal contact with Mr. Kumar is essential for organizing and planning the cardiology services patients may require in association with the cardiac team.
PSH’s operating theatre is equipped with cutting-edge technology and has received praise from visiting cardiologists from India for its world-class standards. Comparatively, the costs associated with open heart surgeries at PSH are competitive with those in India and other locations.
PSH’s Nadi branch is located on Queen’s Highway, directly across from Nadi International Airport, while the Suva branch is situated at 107 Foster Road, Walu Bay Suva. Cardiac services are exclusively offered at the Nadi branch, although advanced procedures in neurosurgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery, and orthopedics are available at both branches.
PSH is committed to delivering top-quality medical care through modern equipment, ensuring excellent surgical outcomes and expedited recovery periods. Mr. Kumar affirmed, “At PSH, we value your health and well-being and prioritize prompt treatment to expedite your journey to full recovery.”
