Heart matters

HEALTH IS not absence of disease, but a complete state of physical and mental well-being.

Those who try to maintain a disciplined life know that only too well. But don't take things to heart - literally, that is.

That is the message from Harvey Heart Hospitals, which is seeking to educate people on the importance of health of the heart. The hospital besides providing heart care also aims to educate public on prevention, identification and management of heart disorders, as Dr. M.P. Naresh Kumar, Managing Director puts it.

The ambience is very important, and so importantly there is no hospital look to the place, nor even the smell of it. Reports are personalised to make the individual feel important.

Positive health is what counts, Dr. Naresh Kumar feels. For the executive category, the high stress type most prone to heart ailments, the Hospital offers a business chamber in a tastefully furnished lounge with office gadgets, where the client can conduct business while waiting for the tests. There are three club groups - Platinum, Gold and Silver and there are also the corporate and premium clubs with customised packages.

For patients on the move, test reports, analysis and recommendations are hosted on the web which can be accessed with a password.

Dr. N. Sivakadaksham, Director, quotes research saying that genetically Indians are more prone to heart problems, particularly South Indians.
