Cochlear Implant Surgeries resume at OCHR

Fully NABH accredited NABH, ISO certified Orange City Hospital & Research Institute (a unit of Ravi Nair Hospitals Private Limited) and Nagpur’s only hospital from Nagpur have retained its inclusion in THE WEEK annual National surveys of India’s best hospitals since 2006 regularly conducts Cochlear Implant Surgeries to provide much needed advanced succor to needy children who are unable to hear from birth. OCHRI had launched their Cochlear Implant program under the name of “Project Geetha”- Freedom from deafness movement on 16th August 2015. Parents of children born with hearing defects now have a new ray of hope. Such hearing-impaired children in the city and central India now look forward to this new bionic ear implant, which not only allows them to hear but also speak normally. The surgery involved planting a bionic ear in a patient suffering from profound hearing loss.

Dr. Usha Nair- RNHPL Director mentioned that Covid- 19 Pandemic crisis has placed unprecedented demands on resources leading to repurposing of surgical wards/ICU beds/OTs, and relocation of specialists, surgeons, nurses and paramedical staff to help with workload of COVID-19 cases. This had resulted in complete stoppage of elective surgeries. Such cancelation of all elective operations has already created a huge backlog of patients waiting for surgeries. It is a worldwide challenge to restart elective surgery during/after COVID-19 pandemic.

Considering the present slowdown of Covid cases, normal Non Covid OPD and indoor admissions are now in full swing at OCHRI to cover the backlog of elective cases. Recently 2 Cochlear Implants surgeries were done in a day at OCHRI by ENT Surgeons Dr. Nandu Kolwadkar and Dr. Sameer Choudhary led by Mentor & Chief Surgeon Padma Shree Dr. Milind V. Kirtane and supported by Audiologists Dr. Ashish Disawal and Ms. Neelu Somani.
