systems are maintained at CIMAR. These are notably rigorous in
the theatre and the laboratories. All state-of-the-art equipment
are pro-actively maintained and subjected to regular inspections.
CIMAR believes that every patient is an individual and hence
deserves individual care. Rather than following standard, rigid
protocols based on age or medical history alone, CIMAR monitors
the patient intensively, treating him/her with compassion and
offering personalised care. Every patient who walks out of the
centre will feel a deep sense of quality and personal touch in the
level of care they have received. For More Information: CIMAR
