Hyderabad: The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) hasestablished a state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization (Cath) Laboratory at the Ramagundam-I Area hospital for the benefit of the Singareni employees and workers.The Cath Lab has been established in Godavarikhani, where a large number of Singareni employees (around 33,000) reside, and it will benefit thousands of serving employees, their families, retired employees, and residents of surrounding areas in Peddapalli, Mancherial, Kumuram Bheem Asifabad, and Jayashankar Bhupalpally districts, the SCCL said in a press release.Although Singareni operates several well-equipped Area hospitals across its command areas, advanced cardiac intervention facilities were not previously available. Until now, patients suffering from heart attacks had to be shifted to Hyderabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, or other distant cities, resulting in the loss of precious Golden Hour time. Recognizing this critical need, Singareni has established an advanced Cath Lab at Godavarikhani to provide immediate life-saving cardiac care.During the previous year alone, nearly 3,000 employees and their family members suffering from cardiac ailments from Bhupalpally, Bellampalli, Ramagundam, Ramakrishnapur, and surrounding areas had to be referred to corporate hospitals in Hyderabad and other cities.ends/
