Bengaluru, 31 January, 2022: Narayana Health City today announced the launch of a dedicated Regenerative Medicine with a Hyperbaric Oxygen facility at its campus. The department was inaugurated by Mr. John Shaw – Vice Chairman, Biocon in the presence of Dr. Devi Shetty – Founder and Chairman, Narayana Health, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw – Executive Chairperson and Founder, Biocon, Dr. Paul C Salins – Medical Director and Sr. Vice-President, Mazumdar Shaw Medical Centre and Mr. Viren Shetty – Executive Director and Group COO, Narayana Health.
The dedicated Regenerative and Hyperbaric Medicine department will offer Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), one of the most evolved, yet underutilised treatment options. In this modality, therapeutic administration of oxygen (100% pure oxygen) is given in a pressurised environment. This makes it possible oxygen to be carried not only by the Red blood cells but also in a freely dissolved state significantly increasing the availability of oxygen to tissues. Disease processes, infections and age related changes often respond poorly to conventional treatment because of the underlying problem of poor blood and oxygen availability to tissues.
