Ms. Mary Junaita Kamalathas, a patient who recently underwent a successful procedure at Aster Royal Hospital, had this to say about her experience: "I was in an emergency life threatening situation en route to Italy from Sri Lanka on a flight and had to make an emergency landing at Muscat International airport. From the airport clinic, I was shifted to a private hospital and later when they realised that I had an acute coronary syndrome requiring intervention, it was then that was transferred by ambulance to Dr Meher Ali and his team at Aster Royal Hospital.
Dr Meher Ali himself received me with a warm smile and a loud, confident, comforting voice. He reassured all will be fine and I am in safe hands. The entire team took immediate response to treat me, and I underwent a successful procedure called angioplasty in no time. Angiogram was done, stents were deployed, and my symptoms settled. I am now in a stable condition and ready to be discharged after few days of ICU stay and travel back to Italy where I live. I cannot thank Dr Meher Ali and his team enough for their prompt and dedicated response, compassion offered in this emergency. The advanced cardiology unit and state-of-the-art technology and equipment at the hospital allowed for a speedy diagnosis and treatment, leading to a miraculous recovery. I am grateful for the great concern shown by the hospital. Thank you to the entire team at Aster Royal Hospital for their excellent care and attention." They really mean their statement ‘We treat you well’.
