Members of the public should know that as part of the vision of the initiator of the idea, Pa Choithram, of establishing a modern hospital that will provide qualitative medical treatment for people from all walks of life, the ultra-modern Choithram Memorial Hospital was founded. Since its establishment, Management of the hospital has facilitated, from time to time, the bringing of specialized medical personnel from Germany and India to render professional medical services to many from different backgrounds on a free of cost basis.
Against the aforementioned backdrop, the Choithram Memorial Hospital will be organizing a free 2 day expert consultation commencing on the 11th April, 2022 to the 13th April 2022 at the hospital premises on Hill Station in Freetown.
This medium was reliably informed that renowned doctors and specialists in the persons of Dr. Ruchir Maheshwari, Principal Consultant, Urology and Dr. Munish Chaudhary, Senior Consultant, Orthopedics and Joint Replacement from Max Healthcare in India will be on the ground to screen and treat individuals from all walks of life for free. They will be treating individuals suffering from Urology and Orthopedics.
It must be noted that Urology is a part of health care that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract and includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. It also deals with the male organs that are able to make babies and include the penis, testes, scrotum, prostrate etc.
Orthopedics, on the other hand, is the branch of medicine dealing with the correction of deformities of bones or muscles.
However, it was made clear that for major cases diagnosed, during that period, treatment for such cases will be paid for on a discount basis and if surgery could not be done here then the patients will be referred to India. In the case of minor tests it was stated that such will be done free and for major ones like CT scanning, payment is required.
Max Healthcare is one of the leading healthcare networks in North India and will now be closer even during these challenging times of pandemics.
According to the Medical Superintendent of Choithram Memorial Hospital, Dr Gowrinath M. George, they are aware that it is not everyone in the country that is financially capable to travel to India for specialized treatment which is why they decided to bring experts in the country to offer their professional knowledge and services on a pro bono basis.
Interested persons must note that prior registration is mandatory and they must book an appointment at Choithram Memorial Hospital on the 10th April, 2022 as only limited spaces will be available. To book individuals must call +232-76-541-331.
