Imphal, November 05 2010:
Media Advisor of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Lamphel, Iboyaima Laithangbam has rebutted the claim that Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Porompat is the first hospital in North East India to have successfully performed an operation on dual chamber pace maker implantation.
Media Advisor Iboyaima today said that there was a misleading report in the eletronic and print media to the effect that one hospital in Imphal is the first one in the state where there was a dual chamber pace maker implantation.
He clarified that RIMS, Imphal, has been doing this kind of operation since 2002.Besides, single chamber implantation is also done to patients.
It is therefore wrong and misleading to say that the particular hospital is the first one in Manipur to have performed this kind of implantation operation only this year, the Media Advisor said.
