The
present Medical Superintendent of Military Hospital (Cardio Thoracic
Centre) is Maj Gen G Ganguly, MBBS, MS (Gen Surgery),
MCh (Cardio Thoracic Surgery), DNB (Cardio Thoracic Surgery) .
The
hospital was established in 1945 as Indo British General Hospital at Aundh in
Pune . It was raised after the Second World War, as a hospital for
Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Chest Diseases. It was designated as Military
Hospital Aundh in Mar 1946. Initially it was a 540-bedded hospital.
In 1967 an additional 60 beds were added for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery,
making it a 600 bedded hospital. Construction of the multistoried
hospital building was started in the mid-sixties and completed in 1971.
The hospital shifted to its present location in Sep 1971 and was later
re-designated as Military Hospital (Cardio-Thoracic Centre). It has
emerged as a leading tertiary care super-speciality centre. The hospital
is committed to provide comprehensive holistic patients care for cases of
pulmonary tuberculosis, cardiac and respiratory diseases. MH(CTC)
has made its place in history by establishing the following landmarks.
The hospital
has five clinical departments, which are its pillars of strength.
Department of Cardiology
It has a non
invasive cardiac lab with facilities such as echo cardiography, treadmill test
or stress test, tilt table test and colour Doppler. In invasive
techniques, there is a high resolution cardiac catheterization laboratory which
was commissioned in 2001. It is used for angiography, cardiac
catheterization, angioplasty, congenital defect closure, repair of diseased
heart valves, electro physiological studies and procedures like angiography,
angioplasty, rotational atheratomy, renal angioplasty, carotid artery
angioplasty and pace maker implantation. Radio frequency ablation for
arrhythmia is also undertaken.
Department of Cardio Thoracic Surgery
It has
performed over 7000 open heart operations and presently every year 700 cardiac
surgeries are being performed. Ever since the first lung resection was
performed by Lt Col Leigh Collis in 1945, the department has always kept pace
with latest strides made in this field the world over. 50% of heart
surgeries are CABG. It is one of few centres in the country where complex
congenital corrective surgery is being under taken in very small
children. At present over 200 paediatric cardiac surgeries are performed
annually.
Department of Respiratory Medicine
It has a 350
bedded unit for the treatment of tuberculosis and various non tuberculosis
diseases. The department has a respiratory Intensive Care Unit which is
equipped with invasive and non invasive ventilator, defibrillator and infusion
pumps. It has various invasive investigation methodologies such as
bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy. Endo bronchial laser ablation and repair
of bronco pleural fistula are also being carried out.
Department of Radiology
It caters to
manifold diagnostic services like radiography, sonography, and colour doppler
studies. The department also carries out interventional procedures in
vascular and non vascular areas of the body and provides definitive as well as
symptomatic relief for various disease conditions. Specific interventions
including bronchial artery emobilization, stroke thrombolysis, carotid artery
stenting and stent grafting of aneurysm are performed routinely.
Training
Apart from being the hub of health care the hospital is also a training center for post doctoral degrees in cardiology, cardio thoracic surgery and respiratory medicine. Medical research is also an integral part of hospital activities.
