Nova Specialty Surgery launches sleep management centre
Nova Specialty Surgery has launched a Sleep Disorders Management Centre at its Tardeo facility in Mumbai. Nova has collaborated with Eurosleep, a network of ENT clinics from Norway to start this integrated centre which will provide comprehensive treatment for sleep related disorders through screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up under one roof.
“In India we lack a systematic approach to the management and diagnosis of sleep diseases. This integrated Sleep Disorders Management Centre will allow all the 11 Nova centres across India to do an efficient assimilation of data to create better India-specific guidelines. Standardised management protocols with outcome reports will help us better understand this complex spectrum of diseases,” said Dr Ashim Desai, Sr Consultant, ENT Surgeon, Nova Specialty Surgery, Tardeo.
Dr Desai further mentioned that the biggest problem in India today is that the patients are not even aware of the dangers of a sleep disorder. “The earlier you diagnose sleep disorders the minimum intervention yields the maximum benefit,” added Dr Desai.
A team of experts consisting of ENT surgeons, neurologists, psychologists, maxillo-facial surgeons and bariatric surgeons will be available for the complete management of sleep disorders at this centre.
On the occasion, a day work-shop for ENT surgeons across the city was organized along with three live surgeries to showcase some of the innovative specialised procedures that will be offered at this centre.
Dr Magne, Tvinnereim, Global CEO, Eurosleep mentioned that Eurosleep’s association will Nova will help both to bring in a state-of-the-art comprehensive treatment approach to sleep-related problems.
