Medanta–The Medicity has strengthened its presence in the Northeast healthcare market with the deployment of Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL), an advanced technology designed to treat complex heart artery blockages caused by severe calcium deposits, while deepening its engagement with Nagaland through strategic partnerships and patient outreach initiatives.
Cardiovascular disease remains India’s biggest health challenge, accounting for nearly one in every three deaths. As cases of coronary artery disease continue to rise, doctors are increasingly treating patients with hardened calcium deposits in heart arteries, which can complicate angioplasty and stent procedures.
Padma Shri awardee Dr. Praveen Chandra, Chairman, Interventional Cardiology at Medanta Gurugram, said Shockwave IVL uses controlled ultrasonic pressure waves to break calcium deposits without damaging surrounding healthy tissue, enabling safer and more effective stent placement. Associate Consultant Dr. C Manpa Phom said the technology is helping doctors successfully treat patients who previously had limited treatment options.
Medanta’s growing footprint in Nagaland is expected to improve access to advanced tertiary healthcare services for patients across the state. The hospital’s accreditation under the Chief Minister’s Health Insurance Scheme (CMHIS) and its focused outreach efforts could reduce dependence on distant medical centres while creating greater awareness about specialised cardiac care in the region.
Medanta has signed anMoU with the Government of Nagaland for CMHIS accreditation and partnered with IDAN and the Department of Youth Resources and Sports to publish a health awareness booklet launched by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio in September 2025. The hospital has also launched a dedicated Northeast helpline offering assistance in Assamese, Bengali, Nagamese, English and Hindi. Nagaland residents can consult Dr. C Manpa Phom at Faith Hospital, Dimapur, on June 20.
