Two new services to be offered by the National Cancer Centre, namely the state of-the-art Computed Tomography Coronary Angiogram and the advanced Cardiac MRI, were unveiled yesterday, by the Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr Kailesh Kumar Singh Jagutpal, in Solferino.

The Computed Tomography Coronary Angiogram was acquired by the Government at the cost of Rs 53 million and the Cardiac MRI, for a sum of Rs 93 million.

At the level of the Government, we are doing our level best in terms of prevention but also on the curative side, assured Dr Jagutpal. As for using coronary CT angiogram or"virtual angiogram", Dr Jagutpal remarked that it will significantly alleviate the waiting list for angiographies which stands at an average of six weeks presently. By offering a non-invasive alternative supported by international guidelines, we are aligning ourselves with global best practices and providing patients with safer, quicker, and accurate diagnostic options, he said.
