approach to treatment. Recognising this critical need, Artemis Hospitals has
launched one of North India’s premium Heart & Lung Transplant Centres, in
collaboration with KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad. This initiative is a landmark in
the region’s healthcare ecosystem, designed to offer hope, healing, and life-saving
treatments to patients suffering from advanced cardiac and pulmonary disorders.
