Manipal Hospital Mukundapur, a unit of the Manipal Hospitals Group, one of India’s largest healthcare providers, has announced the launch of its Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Clinic, a first-of-its-kind, disease-specific initiative in India designed to deliver precision-led care for patients with complex neurological and movement disorders in the presence of leading neurologists, neuro-surgeons from the hospital group.
The clinic is led by Dr Milind Deogaonkar, Director and Senior Consultant – Neurosurgery, Manipal Hospital Mukundapur and marks a significant advancement in neuro-restoration and neuromodulation, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to comprehensive, technology-driven and patient-centric neuroscience care.
The DBS Clinic will function from the Mukundapur unit, with dedicated DBS services scheduled every Monday and a Complex Pain Clinic on Saturdays. Movement Disorder Clinics will be operational on all days to ensure uninterrupted access to specialised neurological care, with Dr Shreyasi Jha attending full-day clinics on Mondays and Saturdays and participating in DBS procedures as required.
The programme follows a multidisciplinary care model that brings together neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain specialists, neuro-rehabilitation experts, emergency physicians and trained nursing teams to deliver coordinated and comprehensive care. Complementing this approach, the Neuro-Rehabilitation Clinic led by Mrs. Shivani Deshmukh will provide structured rehabilitation consultations, supported by dedicated consultation spaces and streamlined service.
Together, this integrated model supports patients across the entire continuum of care, from diagnosis and advanced intervention to rehabilitation and long-term follow-up for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremors, epilepsy and complex pain syndromes.
As part of the launch, Manipal Hospitals will roll out an internal awareness and academic engagement programme across its Kolkata units. These internal sessions, led by Dr Milind, will introduce the Neuro-restoration and Neuromodulation DBS Clinic to neurosurgeons, neurologists, emergency department doctors and residents. The DBS Clinic will also explore tele-connect mechanisms with other Manipal Hospitals units, including centres outside Kolkata, to extend expert neurological consultations and continuity of care beyond the Mukundapur campus.
