Vijayawada: Health-conscious citizens of Vijayawada and Amaravati have reason to celebrate as a new advanced super-specialty hospital Dr N Subba Rao Centre for Cardiac Medicine is set to commence operations from June 22.

The hospital is being spearheaded by renowned senior consultant cardiologist Dr N Murali Krishna of Manipal Hospital, along with his sons Dr N Varun and Dr N Pavan, both consultant cardiologists.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Murali Krishna recalled the family’s contributions to the region’s medical landscape, stating: “My father started Sri Krishna Nursing Home near Apsara Talkies in 1968, later expanding to Vasumuthi Memorial Hospital and Care Super Specialities. With his passing, we are now committed to continuing his legacy through this advanced Cardiac Care Centre in his name.”
Alongside cardiology services, the hospital will also house the Andhra Urology & Gynaecology Centre (AUROGYA), offering comprehensive care in general urology, robotic uro-oncology, high-risk obstetrics, and advanced laparoscopic gynaecology.
