Beed, Nov 16 (PTI) The Beed district hospital in Maharashtra has performed its first angioplasty, with the patient incurring no charges, officials said on Sunday.
Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels, usually the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
A 45-year-old person with a blockage in the heart was the beneficiary of this free life-saving procedure, said Civil Surgeon Dr Sanjay Raut.
“The success of this first angioplasty significantly boosts our confidence. We are committed to ensuring that quality, specialised healthcare is not a privilege but a right for every citizen, regardless of their economic status,” he said. PTI COR NR
