credible honest work over the
years. The support and
encouragement of the community
is invaluable. This comes about
when the community feels that
there is a ‘value add’ because of
the hospital. Integrity and
professional excellence have been
hall marks of the institution.
Being relevant to the community
will also mean being up to date:
constant innovation, keeping up
with the changing realities and
demands, staying abreast of
technological advancements are
aspects of this.

Facilities
• Approximately 25% of our beds
(72 of them right now) are
related to intensive care. There
is currently a big need for a
provision of well-equipped high
quality intensive care in
hospitals. It was this realization
that drove us to augment and
increase the number of these
beds.
• Comprehensive Cancer Care:
Number of malignancies is
going up by the day. There is a
felt need for a complete cancer
care – all under one roof.
Radiation Therapy, Medical
Oncology, Surgical Oncology in
all specialties are the features of
HCO. A state-of-the-art Bone
Marrow Transplant Unit is being
established and should be ready
very shortly.
