Dr. Majumdar is well-known for his work in neurorehabilitation, pain and palliation management, rheumatologic and orthopaedic conditions, onco-rehabilitation and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. His appointment strengthens HCAH RRC Kolkata’s commitment to providing top-tier rehabilitation services to its patients.

A PMR specialist, also known as a physiatrist, is a healer of movement and activity who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. They focus on restoring function and improving quality of life for individuals who have been disabled by illness, injury, or disease.

They employ a comprehensive approach, diagnosing conditions, managing pain, planning, and overseeing rehabilitation. Their expertise spans a wide range of treatments, including physical therapy, spinal procedures, pain management, & interventional procedures like electromyography, joint injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, nerve blocks, neurolysis, and Botox injections. PMR specialists empower patients to regain independence and participate fully in life.

Physiatry plays a key role in helping individuals regain their daily life skills and improve their quality of life after hospitalization. HCAH is a nationally respected organization, praised for its superior patient care, innovative research, and thorough educational programs in this field.

Dr. Gaurav Thukral, co-founder and COO of HCAH India, shared his thoughts on the appointment: “Welcoming Dr. Saswato Majumdar to our team is a big step forward.

I look forward to contributing to the excellent work being done here and working with a team that is passionate about improving patient lives through advanced rehabilitation practices.”

Dr. Majumdar’s experience in the field of PM&R is extensive. With an overall experience of 9 years, he completed his DNB in PM&R from Sambhu Nath Pandit Hospital in 2020.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), all patients deserve comprehensive healthcare that includes rehabilitation. Rehabilitation not only facilitates biological healing but also addresses psychosocial needs, ensuring patients reintegrate back into society effectively. Early referral to PM&R specialists significantly enhances patient outcomes. These outcomes highlight the critical role of PM&R in delivering holistic, effective healthcare.
