According to  Divya Modi (Vice Chairperson, Smart Health City), "We are all very excited about the launch of Bi-Plane facility at SCH today as it would help us to to perform less invasive procedures that would facilitate the recovery of the patient. This new, efficient technology will transform healthcare taking it to a new dimension. We offer advanced technology to minimize invasiveness and improve patients’ rate of healing. The Bi-plane technology will help us continue to provide outstanding and non-comprising treatment to our patients."

She said, "It will transform healthcare professionals’ workflows, allowing them to care for patients more quickly. Bi-plane cath lab will also help doctors to ensure accuracy and to remain accountable."

Speaking at the launch event, Krishna Kumar- Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Philips India Ltd.  said,“In the past, it was difficult to combine great image quality and low radiation dose, and it often resulted in trade-offs. The Philips AlluraClarity incorporates powerful imaging technology to bring superb image quality at a fraction of the dose, further proving Philips’ commitment to improving patient’s health, well-being and quality of life.."

However on the other side there are poor infrastructures and inadequate equipments in other India, "the India". So there is a mammoth task of doing things for the development of this specialty of Interventional Neurology an effective minimally invasive method of treatment of neurovascular diseases and stroke cases. Saket City hospital has taken that bold initiative."
