 Hi, I am Dr. Prabhakar. I am a consultant laparoscopic surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Whitefield. We have been facing this COVID infection situation since three to four months now. So we here at Manipal Hospital were prepared for this. As coming to the general surgery department, we have started doing all regular elective surgeries including laparoscopic surgeries like Arnea surgery, appendicectomy, gallbladder surgeries and also general surgical procedures like thyroid press surgeries and pulse surgeries. So we are following a strict COVID protocol as per the management. We are doing screening for all the patients before admission and before surgery. So we are maintaining a strict protocol regarding the social distancing and taking a personal protective precautions as far as we are concerned. So we are using all protection which is supposed to be required for preventing COVID infections. So we are open OPD wise. We are doing all surgical OPDs from morning to evening. And we are also extending our video consultation facilities for patients who are not able to come to the hospital because of COVID infection situation. Thank you very much.
