Labasa businessman Jamendra Singh recently underscored the quality of care offered by Pacific Specialist Healthcare Hospitals (PSH) after successfully undergoing open-heart bypass surgery in Nadi. At 54 years old, Mr. Singh experienced heart-related symptoms for six months before seeking treatment, which included multiple trips to Viti Levu for testing and consultations.
Grateful for the state-of-the-art facilities at PSH, Singh emphasized his satisfaction with the hospital’s services, which he described as exemplary. Having been informed that stenting was not a viable option for his heart condition, he was referred for open-heart surgery via angiogram. This marked a significant step, as he became the first heart patient from the Northern Division to receive such a procedure in Nadi.
The expertise of Dr. Sanjeev Khulbey, a highly regarded cardiothoracic surgeon, and his team at PSH played a pivotal role in Singh’s recovery. Singh’s medical insurance provider, Bank of South Pacific (BSP) Life, facilitated the necessary administrative requirements for his surgery.
Expressing his appreciation for the “VIP service” received at PSH, Singh plans to spread the word in Labasa about the high-quality healthcare available locally, reducing the need for expensive overseas treatment. This sentiment aligns with a broader trend where patients like Suresh Chand, who previously underwent triple-bypass surgery at PSH, also expressed gratitude for the local medical facilities. Patients are increasingly realizing that they can access advanced healthcare services in Fiji without the exorbitant costs associated with international hospitals.
PSH Hospital has been making headlines for its recent advancements in cardiac care, culminating in several successful open-heart surgeries, a trend anticipated to boost local healthcare access and the potential for health tourism in Fiji. Founder and CEO Parvish Kumar highlighted the commitment to making high-quality medical services available, emphasizing that timely care and affordability are integral to better health outcomes for the community.
This positive development in local healthcare is not just about individual successes; it represents a hopeful shift in the medical landscape, fostering an environment where residents can receive life-saving treatments nearby, enhancing both community health and economic prospects through health tourism.
