Delhi ENT Hospital and Research Centre (DEHRC) emerged from a pressing need for accessible, high-quality healthcare for individuals with ear, nose, and throat (ENT) ailments and head and neck cancers. The escalating expenses and inadequate facilities were making quality healthcare unattainable for patients of modest means. Moreover, newly qualified specialists faced substantial financial investments to establish well-equipped practices, as essential equipment like microscopes, endoscopes, audiology gear, and diagnostic tools commanded substantial costs, often exceeding a crore of rupees. This situation either inflated treatment costs or led to the usage of substandard equipment.
Delhi ENT Hospital and Research Centre was established with a vision to provide affordable, top-tier care to patients. The facility is open to any registered ENT specialist, ensuring that expertise is not limited by financial constraints. The hospital boasts an array of investigative facilities, including pure tone audiometry, special tests like SISI, tone decay, DL, ABLB, UCL, free field audiometric assessments, behavioral audiometry, and speech audiometry. Objective hearing testing facilities, such as impedance audiometry and reflex tests for stapedius and Eustachian tube function, are also available.
For laryngeal examinations, Delhi ENT Hospital and Research Centre offers a laryngo-synchro-stroboscopic facility, while rhinomanometric facilities cater to nose examinations. Given the rising prevalence of allergic diseases, the hospital provides allergy test facilities via prick and blood tests. Speech disorder assessments benefit from specialist speech therapists on staff.
DEHRC features two operation theaters equipped for a wide range of surgeries, including tonsillectomy, adenoid curettage, septoplasty, rhinoplasty, turbinoplasty, myringoplasty, tympanoplasty, ossiculoplasty, stapedectomy, facial nerve surgery, acoustic neuroma surgery, and surgeries for Meniere’s disease. Functional endoscopic surgery with a microdebrider is available, alongside laryngeal surgeries such as microlaryngeal surgery, thyroplasty, and phonosurgeries for voice enhancement. Cancer surgeries for laryngeal cancer and procedures for sleep apnea, salivary glands, naso-pharynx, and palate are also conducted.
Rehabilitation services encompass hearing aid fittings, speech therapy for a-laryngeal and oesophageal speech, and cochlear implants. The hospital caters to diverse speech needs, including stammering, aphasic speech post-stroke, and professional voice user training. Additionally, maxillary, oral, and nasal prosthesis fittings are overseen by dental specialists.
Delhi ENT Hospital and Research Centre is recognized by NCR and meets all health insurance company requirements. It accommodates medically rejected candidates from flying and armed forces’ health standards. Emphasizing disease prevention, the hospital offers vaccination facilities to boost resistance against ear, nose, and throat infections, aligning with WHO guidelines and protocols.
Patients experiencing recurrent cough and sore throat, colds, headaches, sneezing, hearing difficulties, ear ringing, dizziness, ear discharge, pain, hoarse voice, stuttering, speech defects, or other ENT concerns can benefit from consultations with DEHRC’s specialists. With its comprehensive services and commitment to affordability and quality, DEHRC stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking effective ENT care.
