Amrita Hospital, Kochi in a significant stride towards comprehensive patient care, inaugurates the state-of-the-art Advanced Wound Care Services. Long standing wounds are caused by infections, diabetic foot, venous ulcers, rare fungal infections, cancers, impaired blood flow, sunlight, radiation, lymphatic problems and bone infections. Now, many can be treated with special expertise.
Chronic wounds, a subset that does not heal rapidly, account for a small percentage but pose unique challenges. Recognizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach, Amrita Hospital, Kochi brings together experts from nine different departments to form a dedicated Wound Care Board. This board serves as a collaborative platform where specialists convene to deliberate and devise optimal treatment plans for patients with chronic wounds.
Patients can now benefit from the collective expertise of specialists from diverse fields, including Plastic and reconstructive surgery, General Surgery, Podiatry, Dermatology, Pathology, Vascular Surgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Microbiology and Immunology.
Unlike traditional clinics, the Wound Care Board functions as a collective unit, ensuring that patients receive the combined wisdom of experts from various medical disciplines. The interdisciplinary nature of the board allows for a holistic assessment of each case, providing patients with tailored treatment strategies.
In specific cases requiring heightened care and attention, the board actively engages with patients, offering personalized insights and recommendations for improved outcomes.
This patient-centric approach underscores Amrita Hospital's commitment to ensuring the highest standard of care for those suffering from chronic wounds.
The launch of Wound Care Services marks another milestone in Amrita Hospital's ongoing mission to deliver advanced healthcare solutions, addressing the diverse needs of the community.
