A specialised institution dedicated exclusively to advanced wound healing and limb preservation was inaugurated in Hyderabad on Monday, with doctors highlighting the growing burden of diabetic foot disease and stressing that most diabetes-related amputations can be prevented through early intervention.
The Advanced Wound Healing and Limb Salvage Institution, established by Advanced Wound Healing (AWH) Clinics and founded by advanced wound surgeon K.V.N.N. Santosh Murthy, was inaugurated by former Haryana and Himachal Pradesh Governor Bandaru Dattatreya.
The centre will provide care for patients suffering from diabetic foot disease, chronic non-healing wounds, burns, traumatic injuries and other limb-threatening conditions. The institution also
launched Happy Feet, a public awareness campaign aimed at promoting preventive foot care, encouraging early diagnosis of foot-related complications and reducing avoidable amputations.
