Institute of Heart Lungs Diseases & Research Centre (IHLD) set to open in New Delhi

The Institute of Heart Lungs Diseases & Research Centre (IHLD) is set to open in New Delhi and offer specialised healthcare services for heart and lung diseases, including related complex surgeries, therapies for end-stage heart and lung diseases, and transplants.

The Institute has partnered with the 300-bed PSRI Hospital in Saket, South Delhi and comprises a team of cardio-thoracic surgeons, transplant physicians, intensivists, cardiologists, rehabilitation specialists, nurses, and social workers.

A release informed that the Institute will have dedicated operation theatres, a hybrid cath lab, cardiac and transplant ICUs, OPDs, and a cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation programme.

The brain behind IHLD is Dr Rahul Chandola, a surgeon with over two decades of experience with hospitals like Toronto General Hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital, University of Alberta and Humboldt University, Germany. He has specialised in heart and lung transplants and complex cardio thoracic and vascular surgeries.

“We are proud to launch IHLD and believe that it will benefit residents of the capital along with the entire nation and reduce the need to travel out of India for these cutting-edge, complex procedures. The skilled doctors at IHLD will spearhead the transformation of cardio-thoracic & transplant healthcare. We are committed to bringing to India the latest advancements in Heart & Lung treatments and surgery,” says Dr Rahul Chandola, Founder-Chairman and Chief of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, IHLD.

IHLD is supported by the Hans Foundation, a charitable and welfare organisation that runs comprehensive programmes across healthcare, disability, livelihood, and education across the country.
