According, to ICMR, over the past three decades, there has been a 150 per cent increase in diabetes patients in the country. Considering the increasing prevalence of Diabetes in India this clinic aims to provide better care and support to the patient by preventing diabetes-related complications.

Dr Ramen Goel, Consultant Diabetes Surgeon, Center of Bariatric Excellence, Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central, who will be heading the clinic said, “Looking at the ‘sugar pandemic’ that is spreading fast in our country, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mumbai Central has decided to launch Diabetes Surgery Clinic.”

“Diabetes is a silent killer with major complications like heart attacks, brain strokes, kidney failures, blindness etc and is a progressive disease in which cure is unlikely with medicines. However, post diabetes surgery, about 65 per cent of diabetic patients do not need medications and over 90 per cent of patients have excellent diabetes control for long time. Not only the blood sugar is controlled, and medicines are discontinued, this surgery reduce the chances of diabetes complications by 50 per cent-90 per cent”, he added.
