Masina Hospital’s latest ‘MHB60’ or ‘Masina Heart Brain 60’ Preservation Project is an Emergency Response Facility activated by a call for healthcare service to patients suffering from suspected heart attack or stroke. A dedicated Helpline No. 9833333611 will be the key point of this project. Calling this number will result in a fully equipped advanced life support ambulance, with a doctor, come to the site of the incident and transfer the patient to Masina Hospital within an hour of the call made to this number. The treatment of the condition will start from the point of ambulance reaching the site of the incident.
The key facilities of this project are a fully equipped advanced Cardiac Care Facility, Neuro ICU, Cath lab, CT- Scan centre available 24/7 – 365 days of the year. This service has been designed based on the needs of the patient in the city of Mumbai, and the service area will be from Colaba to Chembur.
For patients, the treatment given within the first hour of suffering a heart attack or a stroke, also known as the Golden Hour, is crucial for timely lifesaving and taking damage control actions. Immediate medical treatment has a profound impact on a person’s survival.
Explains the communique from Masina Hospital, “If you ask most of the people what they would do if they see a person suddenly becoming breathless or unconscious, you will get multiple different answers – from calling the neighbour to calling the doctor and after that, the hunt for ambulance and decision of where to take the patient… all this creates a lot of confusion and delay in treatment. By having this dedicated number handy in the house or in public places or offices and on your personal phones, you will avoid all these delays and save lives.
While India and Mumbai tackle the pandemic, the after-effects of COVID 19 are yet to play out. A study published in JAMA Cardiology medical journal claimed that 78% of Covid recovered patients have abnormalities in the heart while 60% have an ‘ongoing myocardial inflammation’. It also found higher levels of Troponins, the blood enzyme which indicates heart damage, among the study subjects.
The hospital has the facility to take the patient whose Covid status is not known in the Triage facility without compromising the safety of the patients and the staff in the hospital.
We urge you to remember this number MHB60 and helpline 9833333611 and save it on your mobile.”
