Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, a healthcare institution in Karnataka, India, has entered into an agreement with New York-based Mount Sinai Health System to enhance speciality care development, quality, and technological advancements.
The partnership is aimed at advancing healthcare services through joint efforts in clinical excellence, quality of care, research, innovation, and technology.
It is anticipated to bring benefits to patients in India and across the region.
Mount Sinai International president Szabi Dorotovics said: “It is in the spirit of Kempe Gowda – the founder of Bengaluru – who, to this day, is remembered for enabling the citizens of Bengaluru enhance their development and prosperity, that Mount Sinai and the Ramaiah Memorial Hospital have now forged our long-term collaboration and partnership.
“Together, we seek to provide the citizens of Bengaluru, and the State of Karnataka, with the highest international standards of healthcare to enhance their wellness, and thereby, their prosperity.”
Under the terms of this long-term agreement, Mount Sinai Health System will provide comprehensive support to Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, a multi-super-specialty quaternary care hospital.
Ramaiah Memorial Hospital will use Mount Sinai Health System’s support to enhance its clinical capabilities and centres of excellence in specialised fields like oncology, cardiology, neurosciences, urology-nephrology, and other clinical specialities.
The collaboration involves the regular review of complex clinical cases at Ramaiah Memorial Hospital by clinical experts from both institutions.
Additionally, the initiative is expected to facilitate optimal treatment decisions for patients using specialists across various clinical disciplines.
Ramaiah Memorial Hospital president SC Nagendra Swamy said: “With our strategic collaboration with Mount Sinai Hospital New York, our offerings as a leading healthcare provider in the region will be compounded manifolds and will open doors for providing patient care, safety and quality excellence along with possible medical research for our clinicians as well as to learn and acquire the latest clinical exposures from the best minds at Mount Sinai via virtual webinars, workshops and on-site case reviews/discussions as part of the collaboration initiative.”
Last month, Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida collaborated with virtual care management platform HealthSnap to support its chronic disease management programmes.
