Message

Health is our right. Everybody should get it. The aim of Shija Hospitals and Research Institute is to provide world class health care to the people of Manipur and its neighbouring states.

In medical sciences, patients are the "nucleus" around which we revolve. The expectancy of life has increased manifold in western countries. Thanks to the modern and ultramodern medical technologies, we the people of India in general and Manipur in particular have to rethink the global scenario of health care delivery system to explore ways & means in delivering safe, affordable & latest medical technology with a human touch. India’s health care sector is growing at a pace of 15% per annum and the region should not be left behind. I believe, it is a difficult job but not impossible, provided all the related professionals join hands to sort out hindrances. It is our aim to keep pace with the trend of growth of Medical Science.

I extend my sincere gratitude to the public & patients who have shown their goodwill & reposed faith on Shija Hospitals since its inception.

Thank you.

The Hospital

    Shija Hospitals And Research Institute Pvt. Ltd. is a pioneer private health care centre in Manipur in providing advanced health care with the motto of "World class healthcare at the doorstep at an affordable cost". With the support of the people of Manipur and its neighbouring states Shija Hospitals has been successful, to a great extent, in bringing highly needed medical technology and know how in the region.

    Shija Hospitals began as a consultation chamber with minor operation facility attached to a pharmacy at Paona Bazar, Imphal, in June 1985 to provide basic health care. Shifted to RIMS Road in a building with 9 beds and major operation facilities, on 3rd October, 1988. Installed laparoscopic surgery equipment (key-hole surgery) for the first time in Manipur in April, 1996.

    Since then laparoscopic surgery for gall bladder, appendix, uterus, ovaries, diagnostic are done routinely. Advanced Laparascopic Surgeries like Hernia, Rectopexy, Highly Selective Vagotomy, Hiatus Hernia, GJ & Vagotomy, Cysto-Gastrostomy are done with the most advanced technology thus saving them from going to far off places to seek medical treatment and spending prohibitive amount of money. Installed Harmonic Scalpel, USA, for bloodless surgery for the first time in the entire Indian Subcontinent on 25 January 1997. More than thousands of operations have been performed using this revolutionary instrument.

    In its revolutionary steps towards treatment of stones, Shija Hospitals installed ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) for extracting gall-stones from CBD and inserting stent on 11th March 2000 for the first time in Manipur and ESWL (Extracorporeal Short Wave Lithotripsy) on 27th of May 2000 for non-surgical removal of stones from urinary tract. PCNL, URS and CLT for treatment of Kidney, Ureter and Bladder stones were started in Feb 2003.
