Dr Ardhendu Sekhar Pandit Leads Walkathon for Advanced Joint Care in Rural Bengal

News Desk, News Nation 360 : To highlight better mobility outcomes and the expanding reach of advanced orthopaedic care in rural Bengal, renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr Ardhendu Sekhar Pandit led a special walkathon at Teresa Hospital, Champadanga, which brought together recovered orthopaedic patients, clinicians, and healthcare stakeholders. The program demonstrated Dr Pandit's ongoing efforts to advance patient-centred joint care, early intervention, and awareness outside of urban areas. Patients who have successfully healed from a variety of orthopaedic disorders enthusiastically participated in the walkathon. Many of the people who walked with Dr Pandit told motivational stories of how they overcame pain, regained their mobility, and resumed their active lives. Senior physicians, hospital administration, and representatives from Meril Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. attended the seminar, demonstrating a cooperative strategy to improve the standard of orthopaedic care in the area. Addressing the gathering, Dr Pandit stressed the importance of timely diagnosis and preventive care in managing arthritis and joint disorders. He stated that Arthritis is a symptom that is impacted by a variety of circumstances rather than an illness in and of itself. Joint replacement is only recommended when necessary, and disease development can frequently be postponed with appropriate advice, medicine, physiotherapy, and lifestyle modification. Additionally, Dr Pandit discussed innovations including robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement procedures, which provide better long-term results, quicker recuperation, and increased surgical precision. He stressed how important it is to preserve long-term joint health through physiotherapy, regular exercise, calcium and vitamin D supplements, and guided yoga. He added that the Chief Minister's Relief Fund and the Swastha Sathi Health Scheme make advanced orthopaedic surgeries at Teresa Hospital affordable for people from low-income backgrounds.
