Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, has opened a mother and childcare wing to help the hospital meet the specific and expanding needs of mothers and children. The new wing will include services in radiology, diagnostics, obstetric procedures, and an exclusive gynaecology emergency section to address all aspects of mother and child health.

The hospital has introduced best-in-class current technology as part of this infrastructure expansion, which will be overseen by highly qualified clinical professionals in obstetrics and gynaecology, IVF, genetic medicine, neonatology, paediatrics, and paediatric sub-specialties. It will also be supported by a comprehensive tertiary/quaternary care set-up under one roof to deal with any maternal and childcare crises that arise.

Speaking on the occasion, Anil Vinayak, Group COO, Fortis Healthcare, said, “Maternal health and childcare is a critical area in India and needs to be given top priority. The dedicated wing for mother and childcare being launched today is at par with global standards. It reaffirms our commitment to providing best outcomes through latest technology, innovation and highly skilled clinicians. Patient centricity is the ethos at Fortis Healthcare, and we continue to put in our best efforts to meet the healthcare requirements of the community.”

A 107 year old , Kewal Krishan, became the oldest person in India to be vaccinated against COVID under the supervision of his Cardiologist Dr Ashok Seth, Chairman, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute. Two years ago, he was the oldest patient in the world to have undergone stenting to the artery of left side of brain.

“It is really a heartening moment to see that Mr Kewal Krishan has got vaccinated safely and will continue to lead a good quality of life in safety. This is important especially because two years ago Mr. Kewal Krishan started having repeated small strokes and was threatening a major stroke leading to paralysis. He had a 95% calcified left carotid artery stenosis (blockage in the main artery supplying blood to the left half of brain). The blockages were very hard, torturous and angulated. It took us 2-hours to treat it via a non-invasive Carotid Artery Stent Implantation. I am happy to say that he improved and that day we prevented him from having a major stroke and today he is well, lead a quality of life and therefore took the vaccine to remain well and enjoy his life with his family. He is an example for many other elderly patients to keep a positive attitude to life and wellbeing.” said Dr Ashok Seth, Chairman, Interventional Cardiology, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute

“Today, we administered the COVID vaccine to Mr. Kewal Krishan, the oldest person in India to get vaccinated. We hope that this action will encourage people to get vaccinated. The second phase of the vaccine rollout has seen an encouraging response, the numbers are increasing day by day. We are very hopeful and will continue to do our best in aiding the government efforts to combat and end the coronavirus pandemic.” said Bidesh Chandra Paul, Zonal Director, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute
