KIMS-Sunshine, Medtronic partner to launch centre for resistant hypertension treatment

KIMS Sunshine Hospital partners with Medtronic to establish renal denervation therapy centre for hypertension treatment.

KIMS Sunshine Hospital, Hyderabad, has joined hands with Medtronic, a medical device manufacturer, to establish a specialised centre for renal denervation therapy.

The partnership, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday (April 9) aims to expand treatment options for patients suffering from resistant and uncontrolled hypertension, with a focus on improving long-term health outcomes.

Renal denervation therapy is a medical procedure designed to reduce high blood pressure, particularly in patients who do not respond adequately to conventional medication. “Our goal is to not only improve clinical outcomes but also to empower our patients with effective, sustainable treatment options beyond pharmacotherapy,” said Dr. A.V. Gurava Reddy, Managing Director, KIMS Sunshine Hospital.

As part of the collaboration, Medtronic will facilitate training programmes and workshops to help upskill medical professionals in this emerging area of treatment. The two organisations also plan to conduct awareness programmes to educate patients and caregivers, enabling them to make informed decisions when dealing with hard-to-control blood pressure, said a release.
