Kolhapur hospital revamped for heart transplant in future

Akshay Bafna, a cardiologist at CPR Hospital, said: "We are soon to get a new cath lab to perform the minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat heart conditions. Currently, we have 80-90 patients approaching for OPD consultation services in the department, and annually the patient count touches around 10,000. Last year, we carried out 1,600 minimally invasive surgeries."
