Manipal Hospital Broadway, a unit of one of India’s leading healthcare networks, the Manipal Hospitals Group, hosted an interactive medical education session under its flagship initiative ‘Anveshana’ in Bolpur today, reaffirming its commitment to advancing specialised healthcare and informed medical awareness across the region. The session was led by Dr. Tanmoy Karmakar, Senior Consultant – Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement Surgeon, and Dr. Raja Nag, Consultant – Interventional Cardiology, in the presence of Dr. Amal Chowdhury Secretary Indian Medical Association (Bolpur Viswa Bharati) who engaged with members of the media to highlight key developments in specialised treatment, early diagnosis, and patient-centric care.
With the presence of a Manipal Hospital unit, across India, patients can now have access to some of the most comprehensive care in the country, right at their doorstep. Manipal Hospitals now have 49 hospitals across 24 cities, backed by 12,600+ beds, 11,000+ doctors, and over 8 million lives served. The capabilities of the best clinicians in cardiology and orthopaedics, ensure that patients receive multidisciplinary, coordinated care.
Speaking during the session, Dr. Tanmoy Karmakar stated, “Orthopaedic problems today are no longer limited to the elderly. Sedentary lifestyles, improper posture, and lack of awareness are leading to joint issues at a much younger age. Through Anveshana, we aim to help the media understand these conditions better so that the right messages around prevention, early treatment, and modern surgical options reach the public.”
Dr. Raja Nag added, “We are increasingly seeing heart-related complications among younger individuals, often driven by lifestyle factors and delayed diagnosis. While cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of mortality, many such cases can be prevented through early identification and timely medical intervention. Regular monitoring of vital parameters and paying attention to even subtle warning signs are crucial today. Initiatives like Anveshana by Manipal Hospitals give us an important platform, that allow us to engage directly with the media, clarify myths, and stress the importance of recognising early warning signs and adopting heart-healthy habits.”
