 Greetings from Manipal Hospital Bangalore and Dr. Sumit Thalmar. I would like to convey a message to all of you that physical installations are now completely functional and they are advised for everybody because it helps in picking up diseases early and it helps in preventing the delay in treatment. In our department we do bariatric surgery and metabolic surgery like sleep, gastric bypass, many gastric bypass and various other procedures for diabetes and obesity. And also in the department of general surgery we do surgeries like laparoscopic colostatomy, laparoscopic hernia operation, laparoscopic colorectal procedures and all laparoscopic procedures. We have taken all the necessary precautions that are required to prevent the spread of COVID in our hospital right from the entry gate to the ward and up to the operation theater. We have been continuing with elective operations since the time the government has allowed it and we have been doing it safely and I am happy to say that we have not encountered any problem as far as COVID is concerned in our surgical patients. Visit our website and book an appointment to get in touch with us.
