Dr. RK Diabetic Foot and Podiatry Institute & Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Amputation Prevention Center, one of India’s leading Premier Diabetic foot care facility, today announced the official inauguration of “India’s First Diabetic Foot & Podiatry facility” in Kolathur, Chennai. The          GAIT Analysis lab in the state-of-the-art facility was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Minister of Charitable Endowments Shri. P K Sekhar Babu and the Statue of Shri Rakesh Jhunjhunwala was unveiled by Mrs. Rekha Jhunjhunwala followed by the launch of Hyper Baric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Operation Theatre & ICU complex solemnized in the presence of Dr. Rajesh Kesavan, Founder Director, Dr RK Diabetic Foot and Podiatry Institute & Rakesh Jhunjhunwala Amputation Prevention Center and other dignitaries.

The inaugural session was witnessed by an inspiring speech by Mrs. Rekha Jhunjhunwala; Dr. Rajesh Kesavan stepped in and prevented the amputation of my husband’s leg despite all the premier institutions around the world stating that (foot) amputation was inevitable. Dr. Kesavan is a testament to the Indian talent, especially in the field of Diabetic foot care and my husband strongly believed that this world-class cure should be extended to all the Indians. Therefore, we support and join hands with Dr. Kesavan and team to create a world-class institution with a vision that No Indian will ever need to travel abroad for the diabetic foot treatment. We are delighted to support Dr. Kesavan for his efforts towards fulfilling a long-held vision and dream of my husband by demonstrating how technology made such a radical change in the diabetic foot care in India.

Commenting on the unique facility Dr. Rajesh Kesavan, Founder, Dr. RK Diabetic Foot & Podiatry Institute said, ”The term Foot and Podiatric care refers to the specialised medical care that is delivered by a well-trained team of professionals including Podiatrist, nurses and other medical staff. Our unique facility would be equipped with facilities in detecting the illness at early stages and ensure hassle-free and comprehensive diabetic foot care treatment”.

The main objective of this unique facility is to provide a world-class foot care treatment in India not only ‘for diabetic Patients’ but also to create awareness among the mass about the importance of identifying the illness at an early stage to avoid amputation. Almost, every 7 seconds, an amputation happens somewhere in the world.  In India, more than 6 crore have diabetes and a significant number of them lack sensation in the feet. Even a small wound on their foot can get infected easily and result in losing their limbs. The affected people become completely dependent on their family members for their normal routines thereby shattering their dreams, dignity and confidence. Dr.RK’s institute strives to heal wounds both physical and emotional and gift them back their lost smile, poise and independent life.
