Medanta, one of India’s leading multi-specialty hospitals, has ramped up its healthcare outreach in Northeast India with a strong focus on vascular health to combat diabetic foot complications and varicose vein issues. At a press conference in Guwahati, Dr. Rajiv Parakh, Chairman of Peripheral Vascular and Endovascular Sciences at Medanta Gurugram, highlighted the urgent need for early diagnosis and advanced interventions to prevent amputations and manage chronic leg conditions.
With over 5.5% of Assam’s population affected by Type 2 diabetes (ICMR), Medanta aims to address a critical gap in specialized vascular care. The region’s sedentary lifestyle and limited access to treatment have worsened vascular disease outcomes. Dr. Parakh showcased cutting-edge treatments like endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), Glue therapy, and motorized techniques for blocked arteries.
In Guwahati, rising demand for high-quality specialty care has prompted Medanta to expand services through its new OPD at Sunvalley Hospital, GS Road. As the city’s diabetic population grows, the move positions Medanta to cater to a significant and underserved market. Dr. Parakh emphasized that comprehensive vascular assessments and lifestyle modifications can drastically reduce the risk of amputation. For appointments, call 7638826770.
