The defining moment of the launch came when Dr. Rajesh Jeganathan, Chairman of Billroth Hospitals, presented a cheque of ₹20,00,000 (Rupees Twenty Lakhs Only) to a successful heart transplant survivor. The emotional gesture symbolised not just medical success, but the hospital’s enduring commitment to patient care that extends far beyond the operating theatre.
Cardiac Centre of Excellence: Two Decades of Life-Saving Leadership
Since establishing its Cardiac Department in 2003, Billroth Hospitals has steadily evolved into a centre of excellence, consistently adopting advanced interventions and breakthrough technologies to treat complex cardiovascular diseases.
With over 50,000+ Cath Lab procedures and 10,000+ Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeries (CTVS) performed, the hospital continues to set benchmarks in clinical outcomes and cardiac innovation. Its 24×7 Advanced Cardiac Emergency Services at Shenoy Nagar and R.A. Puram ensure immediate expert response, delivering critical care when every second matters.
Next-Generation Technology Powers Clinical Precision
The cardiac division is equipped with three advanced Cath Labs featuring cutting-edge systems such as:
