The National Council of
Churches in India congratulates the Christian Medical College and Hospital (CMCH)
in Tamil Nadu on the opening of a new External Counter Pulsation (ECP) centre.
ECP will promote
non-surgical procedures for heart ailments.
ECP therapy -- a non-invasive procedure -- helps stimulate the growth of
new blood vessels in the heart and, in some cases, improves the flow of
existing blood vessels. Often, ECP is used when physicians have exhausted other
therapies.
The treatment provided at
the centre is covered under the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Medical
Insurance Scheme and the revenue generated from the treatment will also help
finance the hospital's development, hospital authorities said.
The NCCI wishes the CMCH, Tamilnadu to be a blessing and a healer to the Indian society and the people at large.
