India’s First Specialized Podiatry Hospital, The Foot Doctor, Revolutionizes Foot Care
Hyderabad, December 1, 2024– The Foot Doctor, India’s first dedicated podiatry hospital, is transforming foot care by addressing the nation’s urgent need for specialized treatment. Founded by KIMS Hospitals and Dr. Narendranadh Meda, Senior Consultant Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon with over 15 years of experience, the hospital is committed to combating the alarming rise in diabetic foot complications and other foot-related ailments.
KIMS Hospitals CMD Dr. Bhasakar Rao Said Diabetic Foot Disease (DFD) remains a critical health concern in India, with over one lakh diabetes-related amputations performed annually. Every 18 seconds, a limb is lost globally due to diabetes, and 85% of these amputations are preceded by untreated diabetic foot ulcers. The “The Foot Doctor” aims to reduce this staggering statistic by offering holistic, preventive, and advanced treatment options.
Dr. Meda emphasized, “India faces a dire need for specialized podiatric care. Lack of awareness and delayed interventions lead to devastating complications like amputations. The Foot Doctor is here to change that narrative by prioritizing early diagnosis, advanced treatments, and preventive care.”
