Narayana Heart Hospital

Because Solution is "Affordability"


Got to know about this amazing Indian startup model via an online course offered by Harvard University- "Narayana Heart Hospital founded by Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty". The important thing here is to know how Dr. Shetty identified an institutional void related to a tertiary care in India namely one that aims to combat a particularly important cluster of chronic heart disease which leads to "HEART ATTACK". South-Asian countries like India, Pakistan, Srilanka are very prone to heart diseases, specifically, on an average, Indians get a heart attack 8-10 years earlier than other ethnic groups. The most unfortunate fact is that 40 per cent people in our country who develop heart attack are under the age of 55, and approximately 2.5 millions people require heart surgeries per year in India. Surgery such as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) improves blood flow to the heart. Surgeons use CABG to treat people who have severe coronary heart disease,  and it is more shocking to know that only 3% patients in India receive the heart surgery out of the total patients who actually need it.

So, what is the solution?


Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty came with the effective solution in the form of "Narayana Heart Hospital".
It gave me an immense pleasure when I learned more about this innovative entrepreneurship model which is successfully running its business to provide the best heart care facilities in India and also to patients from its neighboring countries like Pakistan, Srilanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The pricing strategy is designed in such an innovative way that 60-65% patients can pay the break-even cost or more, of the heart surgery at Narayana making it absolutely affordable for patients who cannot afford such treatment.

Concluding my matter I would request you to please consider and suggest this hospital to anyone whom you come across and who is in dire need of a heart treatment.

  1. As A Man Thinketh: James Allen “Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance.” This book was originally published in 1903. Since then, this book has been inspirational for generations all across the globe, including the famous authors of popular self-help books. This book is based on the idea that how thoughts actually shape a person. This is the shortest book in my list but yet so powerful that you’ll want to turn to it again and again. 2. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant If you are somewhat interested in entrepreneurial world, or into investment field, you must have heard about Naval Ravikant. If you haven’t, go hunt for him right now.

Before I start let me clear, that I am not a person who is very much into the paintings, arts and craft and all such beautiful and creative artwork. It requires immense patience, dedication, skill a calm and peaceful mind to bring out one good stuff. My friends and colleagues who are into such creative field of work either as a hobby or for bread, if you are reading it, you have my respect, yes, I mean it. Keep up the good work! Now coming to the topic for which I am writing this blog. A couple of months ago when we all were dealing with this lockdown, an idea struck to my mind to bring out few beautiful portraits to a wall in my room, about things that have had a little impact on me in shaping my perspectives with growing age. After surfing the internet, I came across this beautiful watercolour painting “Glow of Hope” by S.L. Haldankar. It was painted in 1945-46, almost seven decades ago, but yet holds the same amount of fascination for art lovers all over the country as it did then.
