City-based Chaudhari Family donates modern equipment to the hospital
PUNE: Starting a new era in skin treatment, city-based Parimal and Pramod Chaudhari Foundation and the members of the Chaudhari family have donated the all-new state-of-the-art medical equipment for the diagnosis, treatment, and research of skin diseases to the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital and Research Centre recently.
With this new equipment, the Dermatology department at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital (DMH) will now be able to offer advanced treatment for skin conditions such as burns, tattoos, dark spots, acne, melasma, and other skin diseases using new modern treatment techniques.
The laser services for the Dermatology Department and Research Center were commenced in the memory of Madhubhau Chaudhary, and state-of-the-art equipment for skull base neurosurgery was dedicated in the memory of Shakutai Madhukar Chaudhari, the parents of noted industrialist Dr. Pramod Chaudhari and the trustee of Parimal and Pramod Chaudhari Foundation.
Dignitaries like Dr. Pramod Chaudhari, Parimal Chaudhari, Sunanda Nisal, Dr. Usha Katti, Dr. Pradyumna Vaidya, Dr. Dhanshree Bhide, Dr. Vinay Kulkarni from the Dermatology Department, neurosurgeon Dr. Kaustubh Dindorkar from the Neurology Department, and renowned surgeon Dr. Utkrant Kurlekar were present during the program that was organized at DMH to mark the installation of the above equipment.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Pramod Chaudhari said, “The dermatology department seems somewhat neglected. Dr. Vinay Kulkarni, a specialist in this department, drew my attention to it. There is a need for more focus here, and there is good scope for research. I was attracted by the word ‘research’ because, in my opinion, research is essential everywhere.”
Parimal Chaudhari said, “Deciding about the department for donating the equipment was a tough process. But then we decided to choose the department of dermatology, which is not in the limelight much.”
Sunanda Nisal said, “The Chaudhari family has a tradition of national service and participation in the freedom struggle. The values of supporting institutions and individuals who do excellent work in the fields of nation-building, society, and education have been passed down to the next generation from their mother, a teacher, and their father, a freedom fighter. The medical equipment donated to the hospital is a part of these values.” Dr. Usha Katti also shared her thoughts.”
On behalf of the DMH, Dr. Pradyumna Vaidya, Dr. Vinay Kulkarni, and Dr. Dhanshree Bhide from the Dermatology Department, and neurosurgeon Dr. Kaustubh Dindorkar from the Neurology Department, provided a detailed technical explanation of the medical equipment. Sanika Joshi presented the vote of thanks.
