So, here’s some good news. Oxymed Hospital just made it to the cover of Silicon India. And no, it’s not just because they’ve got shiny machines or fancy interiors. They’re actually changing the way heart disease is treated in this country, and they’re doing it without rushing patients into surgery.
Every year, lakhs of Indians are diagnosed with heart failure. We’re talking anywhere from 5 to 20 lakh new patients. But the number of heart transplants? Barely a few thousand. That gap is huge.
Most hospitals stick to the same old “surgery-first” approach. Oxymed looked at the situation and said, “Let’s do better.” They started using EECP and HBOT, two treatments that don’t involve a single cut but still get the heart pumping stronger. And patients who’d been told, “Nothing more can be done,” are now walking, farming, and playing with their grandkids again.
EECP is pretty simple. You lie down, inflatable cuffs are wrapped around your legs, and they squeeze in rhythm with your heartbeat. This improves blood flow and helps new blood vessels grow around blocked arteries. No anesthesia, no stitches, just better circulation. Many patients say they sleep better, breathe easier, and feel more energetic after a few sessions.
HBOT is like giving your body a high-dose oxygen holiday. You sit in a special pressurized chamber and breathe pure oxygen. It reaches every corner of your body and speeds up healing.
Put the two together, and you’re not just managing symptoms; you’re giving the heart a proper chance to heal.
A 60-year-old man’s heart function jumped from 20% to 45%, with no surgery involved.
An Omani farmer, once stuck in bed after a heart attack, is now back in his fields.
A five-month-old baby with a serious heart defect survived thanks to Oxymed’s team effort.
Oxymed has also stepped into regenerative medicine. They’re helping people with:
Stem Cell & SVF injections for faster joint and wound healing
PEMF therapy for early-stage arthritis
3D-printed skin and artificial collagen for burn recovery
Special treatments for diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wounds
The idea is to not just treat the pain, fix the problem.
Oxymed’s work has caught a lot of attention:
Awarded by the Cardiology Society of India in 2023
Invited to speak at the Heart Failure Society of India
Travel grants from AIIMS Jodhpur in 2024
Gold medal from ISRR & Cardiometabolic Congress
Appreciation from the American College of Cardiology this year
They’ve “adopted” six rural towns near Chennai, bringing free check-ups, awareness sessions, and life-saving therapies to people who might never have had access otherwise.
Oxymed now has a six-seater HBOT chamber that can match some of the best hospitals in the country. They’re pushing for a future where more people recover without being cut open, spend less time in the ICU, and get back to living their lives.
