The Jeevak Heart Hospital and Research Institute, Patna is Bihar’s first fully equipped super-specialty hospital providing all facilities for the entire range of invasive and non-invasive cardiac procedures including open heart surgeries for all adult and paediatric heart diseases. Until August 1998, Bihar did not have any facility for coronary angiography, angioplasty, open heart surgery, etc. and patients suffering from serious cardiac problem had to travel to heart hospitals in far off cities, at great risk to life, with additional cost and hardship. With the start of Jeevak Heart Hospital in August 1998, this critical gap in health care services in Bihar has been covered. The first coronary angiography, first angioplasty, first coronary artery bypass grafting, first valve replacement and neonatal heart surgery was all performed at Jeevak Heart Hospital in Bihar.
The pioneer in starting in modern day cardiology / cardiac surgery in Bihar has made a world of difference to the lives of the youngest to the oldest. Jeevak Heart Hospital utilizes state-of-the-art medical equipment to provide specialist heart care of international standards. The ICU and CCU have high-end cardiac monitors ventilators, IABP etc. All patient care areas are served by centralized / pipeline medical gas and suction system. H.T. power supply with dedicated transformers, servo stabilizers, diesel generators and UPS support for all critical equipment, ensure quality patient care even during power failure. Electric incinerator is provided for environmental protection and safety.
The Jeevak Heart Hospital is staffed by well-trained doctors and experienced nursing and dedicated paramedic staff round the clock to take care of all cardiac emergencies. The charges for services at Jeevak Heart Hospital are lower than those at comparable centre.
Having brought the much needed cardiac services to Bihar in 1998 (2nd most populous state of India) which was lacking earlier, Jeevak Heart Hospital was adjudged as “The Institution of the Year” – having made the most difference to the state of Bihar, in a public poll conducted by leading National Daily.
