Hyderabad-based KIMS-Sunshine Hospital has partnered with Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology to set up a specialised center for renal denervation therapy. In this regard a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed aiming to enhance treatment options for patients with resistant and uncontrolled hypertension, ultimately improving their health outcomes.
As per the pact, Medtronic will support the upskilling of medical personnel in the field of renal denervation therapy by conducting training programs and workshops. “These efforts will ensure that healthcare professionals have access to the latest knowledge and techniques required for the effective management of hypertension. Additionally, Medtronic and KIMS-Sunshine Hospital will drive patient awareness programs, empowering patients, and caregivers with the necessary information to make informed decisions about their medical treatment for difficult to control blood pressure. By increasing awareness of renal denervation therapy, this initiative aims to provide patients with an alternative treatment option to better manage their condition, said Mandeep Singh Kumar, Managing Director and Vice President of Medtronic India.
“In the battle against hypertension, together, we aim to improve patient care by providing effective solutions for managing resistant and uncontrolled hypertension. By leveraging our technology and fostering collaboration, we are dedicated to improving patient outcomes and fulfilling our Medtronic mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life.”
Dr B Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, KIMS Group of Hospitals added, “Hypertension, particularly when resistant and uncontrolled with conventional treatment, remains one of the most critical health concerns of our time, posing serious risks to long-term patient wellbeing. Our collaboration with Medtronic represents a transformative step toward broadening access to advanced, evidence-based therapies like renal denervation. This initiative goes beyond technology — it is about building a holistic ecosystem of care that empowers our clinicians with world-class training and equips our patients with the knowledge to make informed decisions.”
Dr AV Gurava Reddy, Managing Director, KIMS-Sunshine Hospital echoed similar views, saying that “our goal is to not only improve clinical outcomes but also to empower our patients with effective, sustainable treatment options beyond pharmacotherapy.”
Dr. Sridhar Kasturi, Head of Department, Cardiology & Cardiothoracic Surgery, KIMS-Sunshine Hospital said “Renal denervation therapy offers a promising alternative for patients who struggle with uncontrolled blood pressure despite conventional and pharmacological treatments. By integrating advanced training and patient education technology, we are poised to offer more effective solutions and empower our patients with better management strategies for their condition. This initiative marks an important step forward in our comprehensive approach to healthcare.”
The specialized blood pressure treatment center at KIMS-Sunshine Hospital will serve as a hub for the advanced renal denervation procedure, offering state-of-the-art care to patients suffering from uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension.
