Hello Satish,

Nice to see the info provided by you about bangalore. I am new to bangalore (came just after my marriage) and from your page I came to know a lot about bangalore.

I saw the hospital listing by you and though I have heard a lot about manipal, appollo, HOSMAT and others but never about EPMC. I want know how it topped your list? Is it your personal opinions or based on some researches?

EPMC is a high-end women's healthcare center. It's contolled size i think is the reason why its not very well known as all the other hospitals spends crores on advertising and cover a variety of medical fields wheras epmc is women's health. the main thing about the center is its main doctor Dr.prabha singan and its thyroid expertise. i hope this my interpretation gives some insight.
