commissioning OPD services today

Mr. Aditya Vikram Birla had envisioned a world-class healthcare institution. Mrs. Rajashree Birla's indefatigable efforts lead to this dream's realisation.

Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital (ABMH) is a homage to the memory of late Mr. Aditya Birla.

ABMH a 500-bed multidisciplinary healthcare institution sprawled over 16 acres of land, with 438,000 square feet built-up area, 13 operation theatres, 125 ICU bed complex, 60 consulting rooms, 30 procedure rooms, stand-alone accident and emergency centre, mother and child health institute, wellness assessment center, day care center, dialysis centre, a variety of patient care areas, very large diagnostic service complex to support a super-specialty quaternary, state-of-the-art hospital. The hospital can appropriately be called a medicity.

This medicity is aiming to provide world-class “total healthcare solutions at an affordable cost”.

The hospital will provide advanced healthcare services in therapeutic, preventive and rehabilitative care to not only the entire population of Maharashtra but western India as well.

ABMH is located close to the new Mumbai-Pune express highway. The medicity will cater not only to the Pune, PCMC area but to nearby districts such as Nasik, Dhule, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri and even the bordering areas of neighboring states.

The medicity will be “within reach” for all sections of society and areas.

Renowned urologist Dr Patrick Walsh of Johns Hopkins, on his visit to the hospital, has appreciated this institute as the “Mayo Clinic of Asia”.

“The building has inspired many leading healthcare planners and architects,” says the CEO of ABMH, Dr. B. K. Trivedi.

The OPD services are being launched today.

Dr. B. K. Trivedi calls this Rs.140-crore project a “Silent revolution in healthcare where best technology humo digital network will be working in an integrated manner."

A hi-tech approach
ABMH, which is centrally air-conditioned, will function in a film-less and paperless digital environment backed by cutting-edge medical technology.

The 13 operation theatres are equipped with ultramodern technology. "We will be capable of conducting complex surgeries for ear, brain, lung, bones, joints and a host of other surgeries just to name a few," informs Dr. Trivedi.

The cutting-edge diagnostic service will offer MRIs (1.5 tesla), 64-slice CT scan, flat panel cath lab, colour doppler, ultra sound, mammography, echo, computerised stress test, etc.

A high-tech ambulance, equipped with defibrillators, portable ventilators, suction apparatus oxygen, etc and manned by paramedics will be on call round the clock to tackle roadside accidents and emergencies.

The OPD complex
When one enters the hospital premises, one cannot fail to notice a beautiful fountain meant to soothe frayed nerves. The three-story outpatient department (OPD) is located near the fountain.

This OPD complex is perhaps one of the largest in India which includes 60 consulting rooms and 30 procedure rooms. There are 150 doctors serving OPD patients.

Offerings
The medicity will provide treatment in major specialties like cardiology, neurology, orthopaedics, trauma care, gynaecology, GI and ophthalmology. It will also offer sub-specialty treatment for all major specialties. For instance, in paediatrics, it will offer paediatric neurology, paediatric cardiology, paediatric surgery and paediatric nephrology.

It blends modern and traditional healthcare.

Complying with international standards
"Building a world-class hospital" as the motto, it is no wonder that the hospital has followed international guidelines. The piped medical gas is in compliance with the European standard - HTM2002, while breathing air quality will follow EN737 standard.

With its mission for compassionate quality healthcare the Aditya Birla Memorial Medicity is ready to offer its services to all sections of society.
