ACC to help Indian hospitals improve heart care
New Delhi: Seeking to enhance healthcare delivery in the country, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has partnered with an Indian firm to set up centres of excellence at various hospitals to help improve cardiovascular care.
At a press conference held here, ACC representative and Associate Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale University's School of Medicine, Dr Jeptha P Curtis, said collaborations will entail helping the partnering hospital in building a clinical data registry.
The ACC has joined hands with the Delhi-based manufacturer of drug-eluting stents and other medical equipment, Transluminal Therapeutics, which would in turn help connect the American medical body with hospitals.
"We have already spoken to a few leading private hospitals in Delhi and some in Mumbai have also shown interest.
"As part of this partnership, the ACC will set up an international centre of excellence at partnering hospitals, which would be a certification of quality," Transluminal Therapeutics' Managing Director, Gurmit Singh Chugh, told reporters.
