So, when such a person is benefitted, complete family gets the benefit. fortunes for the affected family. Although main focus of this programme is to help people requiring joint replacement,help is also offered for all other orthopaedic procedures as well.

We also have facility of Navigation Surgery ( Computer Guided Joint Replacement Surgery ) Similar procedure in any other hospital in Pune would cost Rs. 1,25,000 and Rs. 1,60,000 in any of Mumbai Hospital.

Any approximate data of people suffering from knee problems in Mumbai/Maharashtra?
In India, more than 60 % of people above the age of 50 suffer from knee pain due to arthritis. This is on rise and is mainly because of sedentary life style, lack of exercise, obesity and osteoporosis.

What is the incentive for Mumbai patients to come to Pune and enroll in this scheme besides cost benefit?
As explained its quality treatment at affordable rates. Pune is just two hours driving distance from Mumbai and similar health care facilities are available. At the same time cost is nearly 40 % – 50 % less. Again it is personalized attention, which is offered, which would not be possible at bigger corporate hospitals.
