Powered by a team of expert healthcare professionals and equipped with the latest technology, SUMUM will offer comprehensive healthcare services including emergency care, heart care, advanced surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, maternity care, and rehabilitation services for a broad range of medical conditions in over 30 specialties.
Envisioned as a one-stop, next-generation multi-super specialty quaternary care hospital, SUMUM will be served by ‘Centres of Excellence’ involving disciplines of Cardiac Sciences, Neuro Sciences, Critical Care and Pulmonology, Gastro Sciences, Joint Replacement and Orthopedics, Renal Sciences and Onco Sciences.

A greenfield project, the new state-of-the-art healthcare facility aims at providing an ecosystem of healing with high-quality care and safety features besides a wide spectrum of clinical education and research opportunities.
“World-class medical care should be the prerogative of all Indians. Our dream was to have a world-class hospital in the city and we aim to make healthcare simple. With the opening of SUMUM our cherished dream of empowering the health of our community is set to be fully realized,” Prof. (Dr.) Manojranjan Nayak, Founder President of SOA, said.
