As part of its World Heart Day celebrations on Friday, United Hospital in Kalaburagi has planned to organise a Heart Week from October 1 to October 5 at its facility here.
In a media note released on Thursday, chairman and managing director of the hospital Vikram Siddareddy said that the hospital will offer ECG, blood pressure and blood sugar tests and cardiovascular consultation free during the Heart Week.
“As part of our sustained efforts to serve the people, we are going to organise Heart Week in the first week of October. Cardiovascular consultation, apart from ECG, blood pressure and blood sugar tests, will be offered free to all cardiac patients during the Heart Week. Other cardiovascular tests will be offered at 50% discounted rates, if advised by consultants. I appeal to the people to make use of the opportunity and get screened at the hospital between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on any day during the Heart Week,” Dr. Siddareddy said.
