Amrita Hospital has joined forces with the Nagaland Government to expand access to specialized healthcare services in the state, with a focus on cardiology, nephrology, oncology, and hepatology. This partnership includes setting up monthly outpatient clinics (OPDs) at Naga Hospital Kohima and District Hospital Dimapur, bringing advanced medical expertise closer to residents.
Under this collaboration, Amrita Hospital’s specialists will conduct cardiology and nephrology consultations at Naga Hospital Kohima every second Wednesday, and at District Hospital Dimapur every second Thursday. Oncology and hepatology clinics will also be held monthly, on the third Wednesday in Kohima and the third Thursday in Dimapur.
Dr. Sanjeev Singh, Medical Director at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, highlighted the educational focus of the partnership: “This initiative not only provides advanced care but also emphasizes the professional growth of local medical staff. Our visiting specialists will lead Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions, tailored to Nagaland’s healthcare needs, ensuring continuous skill enhancement.”
The partnership also offers Observership Programs for local doctors, allowing them to gain practical experience at Amrita Hospital, pending government approval.
Swami Nijamritananda Puri, Administrative Director of Amrita Hospital, stated, “Our goal is to enhance healthcare accessibility in Nagaland and support the development of local healthcare professionals, making specialized medical care more accessible for the people of Kohima and Dimapur.”
This collaboration marks a significant step toward improving healthcare access and professional training, paving the way for better medical services in Nagaland.
