Humble Beginnings, Historic Ambitions
It was May 17, 1998, when Teresa Diagnostic Centre opened its doors in Agartala with a mission that was as bold as it was compassionate: to provide world-class diagnostic facilities under one roof for the people of Tripura.
"The vision was always to become the most acclaimed diagnostic centre of this part of the country," says the founding team — and looking at the journey, that vision has been realised in more ways than one.
The centre started with a single ultrasound machine. Within that same year, an EEG unit was added. By 1999, a modern pathology laboratory and X-ray facility had come online, laying the groundwork for what was to come.
2002: The Year That Changed Tripura's Healthcare Landscape
If there is one year that truly defined Teresa Diagnostic Centre's role in the region, it is 2002.
That year, the centre introduced CT Scan, Echocardiography, TMT (Treadmill Test), and Upper GI Endoscopy — all for the very first time in Tripura. For thousands of patients who previously had to travel hundreds of kilometres to Kolkata or Guwahati for advanced diagnostics, this was nothing short of a medical revolution.
For anyone searching for the best CT scan in Agartala, Teresa Diagnostic Centre had established itself as the undisputed pioneer — long before the term "diagnostic hub" was even common vocabulary in this part of the country.
2009: Aastha Diagnostic Centre Expands Diagnostic Services in Tripura
The next milestone came in 2009, when Teresa launched Aastha Diagnostic Centre at Shyamolibazar, Agartala, bringing advanced diagnostic facilities to the people of Tripura. The centre quickly became a trusted destination for quality diagnostic services, helping patients access a wide range of tests within the state.
A major advancement followed in 2021, when Aastha Diagnostic Centre installed the first MRI machine in a private diagnostic centre in Tripura. This was a defining moment for healthcare in the state. Patients suffering from neurological disorders, spinal conditions, and complex soft-tissue injuries no longer had to travel outside Tripura for MRI scans. Since then, Aastha Diagnostic Centre has become a trusted choice for those seeking high-quality MRI services in Agartala.
2019: Expanding Into Eye Care With Teresa Health Care
In 2019, the Teresa family grew once more — this time branching beyond diagnostics into specialised eye care. Teresa Health Care, Agartala was launched with a complete eye care solution for the people of Tripura, equipped with all modern testing instruments and a world-class operation theatre.
The expansion reflected a deepening commitment: healthcare in its fullest sense, not just diagnostics in the conventional meaning.
2024: Taking the Teresa Standard to Silchar, Assam
Growth for Teresa has never been purely about geography — it has always followed need. In 2024, the network extended its services to Silchar, Assam, establishing a facility that spans over 7,000 square feet with a complete, end-to-end diagnostic setup.
Today, this Silchar centre is recognised as the largest diagnostic centre in Silchar — a title that speaks volumes about what Teresa brings to every city it enters.
A Network That Reaches Every Corner of Tripura
Beyond Agartala and Silchar, Teresa Diagnostic Centre has continued to take its services deeper into underserved communities. The network is now active in Udaipur, Dharmanagar, and Kulai, and through a meaningful partnership with the public health system, CT Scan services are available at Unakoti District Hospital, Kailashahar and South Tripura District Hospital, Shantirbazar.
This public-private integration is a testament to the trust the institution has earned — not just from patients, but from the government of Tripura itself.
For patients across the state seeking the best pathology in Agartala or advanced imaging services, Teresa's network means that quality diagnosis is rarely more than a short drive away.
28th Foundation Day: Introducing the Teresa Health Loyalty Card
To mark its 28th Foundation Day on May 17, 2026, Teresa Diagnostic Centre launched the Teresa Diagnostic Health Loyalty Card — a patient-first initiative that rewards loyalty with tangible healthcare savings.
Cardholders receive a flat 10% discount on all services across any Teresa centre for a full year. For families that rely on regular diagnostics — whether for chronic conditions, preventive health check-ups, or follow-up testing — this card offers meaningful, real-world relief.
It is, in many ways, typical of how Teresa has always operated: growing bigger, yet staying close to the people it serves.
28 Years of Being the Best Diagnostic Centre in Agartala — and Beyond
When people in Tripura and southern Assam search for the best diagnostic center in Agartala, they are not just looking for a lab or a scan centre. They are looking for reliability, accuracy, and care built over decades. Teresa Diagnostic Centre has earned that trust one patient, one test, one breakthrough at a time.
From one ultrasound machine in a small city in 1998 to a multi-city, multi-specialty diagnostic network serving lakhs of patients — this is a story of vision meeting commitment, year after year.
