Q: I have been married for the past 8 years without getting pregnant. My tests are normal. I think the problem is from my husband as he refuses to under go any tests. Do you think we need IVF treatment? Is Artificial Insemination the same as IVF?
A: I understood that you are having an infertility problem. Mostly it might be from your husband. IVF is different from IUI. I would like to see you both at BSH. and at that stage we can quickly pin point the problem.

Q: I have 2 stants implanted.
- Do you have cardiologists in the hospital?
- Do you have a heart rhythm group as I did suffer from rhythm disturbances?
(I did a pulmonary vein isolation procedure). - Do you have a chest pain unit to quickly serve in case of a heart attack or any
coronary blockages? - Do you have a heart catheter? (I would like to have a check-up every 2 years).
A: This has reference to your queries regarding the facilities at BSH:
- Yes, there are 2 cardiologists in this hospital, either of whom is on call round the clock.
- There is no heart rhythm group in this hospital. Rhythm disturbances are treated by the cardiologist with appropriate medications.
- There is a chest pain unit in the hospital to manage acute chest pains. However there is no cardiac catheterization laboratory where angioplasty and procedures like pulmonary vein isolation could be done. When patients come with sudden heart attacks, they are given clot breaking medications for which we have the necessary infrastructure.
