Ruby General Hospital Enters A New Era in the Provision of High-quality Care and Services

News Desk, News Nation 360 : After 30 years of devoted healthcare service, Dr. Kamal K. Dutta, an NRI physician based in the United States, made important announcements that signalled a new chapter in Ruby General Hospital's ongoing mission to provide high-quality care and services to all facets of society. Ruby General Hospital was opened on April 25, 1995. Ruby General Hospital is looking forward to a better and brighter future after a fulfilling thirty years of operation, all the while concentrating on growing and improving its services to help and serve the community. Dr. Kamal K Dutta, Chairman and Managing Director, mentioned the importance of preventive oncology and how simple cancer screening investigations like Pap Smear, Mammogram, Low Dose CT scan of chest (LDCT), Colonoscopy and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) can help in the early detection of cancer. Ruby Cancer Centre, located under Ruby General Hospital, has made a big leap for Eastern India by installing the Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator Version 3.0—having the user-friendliest advanced contouring system and Eclipse version 18 planning system—being the first in the country and backed by a committed CT simulator, which allows for quicker and more accurate cancer treatment. The hospital also formally inaugurated Kolkata's first Digital PET CT, slashing scanning time from 30 minutes to a mere 5 minutes, giving a mere one-third of the radiation dose, and producing better image quality with the capacity to detect tumors as tiny as 2.9 mm (compared to analog PET CT's 4.3 mm threshold), providing greater contrast, greater patient comfort, quicker procedures, and better lesion detection for life-saving early diagnosis. Special features are simple workflow with the help of AI, enhanced quantitative accuracy, electronic self-gating for chest and abdomen without the use of external devices, and enhanced motion management for the brain—particularly benefiting patients suffering from Parkinson's as well as neurodegenerative disorders—making the technology revolutionary by offering lower doses of radiation, quicker as well as more comfortable scanning, more targeted disease information, and better care for cancer and other patients.
