Apollo Hospitals launched a multi-disciplinary Centre of Excellence for Diabetic Foot Management (CoEDFM), for diabetic patients, known to be prone to foot related ailments, at Jubilee Hills, in collaboration with King's College Hospital, London.
The new procedure was developed by orthopaedic surgeon and consultant at London Hospital Venu Kavarthapu. A team of specialists of Apollo Hospitals have been working together to ensure a functional leg, ankle and foot.
“Patients with diabetic foot problem, if not mobile, develop multiple health problems, and hence it’s important to maintain mobility as taking their leg off or amputating the leg is not ideal, “ said Dr. Venu at a press conference on Thursday.
