Gurugram, Delhi NCR, India is making history as the location chosen for the first three ATA Medical Grade Oxygen Machines (HBOT chambers) in India.
It is estimated that 77 million people in India suffer from diabetes, and 25% of those individuals will develop diabetic foot ulcers. It is further estimated that half of those people will suffer from wound infection of the ulcers, and 20% of those will require amputation. However, by adding the option of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to the standard of care will reduce the risk of foot amputation by ~20-30% and increase the rate of wound healing by up to 10x.
The benefits of HBOT extend far beyond diabetic foot ulcer treatment and care, the list of benefits for specific indications is long.
“We are pleased to share that, through the initiative of HBOT India (www.hbot-india.com), the first 3 ATA Medical Grade Hyperbaric Oxygen Machine is installed in Gurgaon, Delhi-NCR, in collaboration with HCAH (Health Care at Home, www.hcah.in), Guru Harikrishn Foundation (A Non-Profit Charitable Institution, www.harikrishn.org) & Art of Healing Cancer (an Advanced Stage Cancer Institution, www.artofhealingcancer.com),” says Arpan Talwar, Co-Founder HBOT India.
“As Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is supportive in various medical conditions and is the first of its kind in the city, we believe that this infrastructure can help patients not just reaching out directly to HBOT India but also to patients of various hospitals in the vicinity in the city. We plan to become a Nodal Centre of hyperbaric in Delhi-NCR,” says Manjit Singh, Founding Director at Guru Harikrishn Foundation.
