Brawijaya Hospital Group has launched a range of advanced technology-based medical innovations to improve treatment effectiveness and accelerate patient recovery. These innovations include minimally invasive cardiac surgery procedures, therapies for heart rhythm disorders, and modern fertility services. This strategic step was presented in a health education forum titled "Saving Time, Saving Organ, Saving Future" held in Jakarta.
Chief Commercial Officer of Brawijaya Hospital Group, drg. Hestiningsih, S.E., M.A.R.S., explained that the integration of technology in medical services is a response to the public's need for fast and comprehensive care. In addition to improving the quality of services in existing facilities, the management also plans to expand the hospital network to several new regions.
One of the main breakthroughs is offered by Brawijaya Hospital Taman Mini through the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS) method. Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery Specialist, Dr. dr. Ismail Dilawar, Sp.BTKV, revealed that this cardiac surgery technique no longer requires splitting the breastbone like conventional surgery. Through a small incision on the right side of the chest or armpit, the risk of infection can be minimized and patients can return to their activities faster.
Meanwhile, in managing heart rhythm disorders or arrhythmia, Brawijaya Hospital Saharjo promotes ablation as a definitive solution. Cardiologist, dr. Simon Salim, Sp.PD-KKV, emphasized that ablation is the gold standard for permanently curing arrhythmia, surpassing drug therapies that only relieve symptoms.
The hospital also pays close attention to maternal, child, and reproductive health. Dr. Med. Firman Santoso, Sp.OG, warned of the dangers of gestational diabetes in pregnant women, which has the potential to trigger congenital heart defects in babies. On the other hand, to assist couples wishing to conceive, Benih IVF Center offers in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology using the Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) method, which has recorded a success rate of up to 66.7 percent in the advanced productive age group.
