PRAYAS
is the brainchild of Dr. Dipankar Sen- Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Dr.
Dipanwita Sen – Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, both are permanent
residents of the city of Durgapur. Having done their primary and post graduate
medical education from premier medical institutions of India like PGIMER and
JIPMER they did not stop and jump into the easy life of fame and work. Rather
they opted to continue their academic career in United Kingdom in pursuit of
higher surgical training and clinical excellence. Both of them reached the
highest level of academics in the UK. Dr. Dipankar Sen did his Masters in
Orthopaedics from University of Liverpool (MCH_ Orthopaedics) and completed the
Fellowship in trauma and Orthopaedics from Royal College of Surgeons of
Edinburgh in 2010 (FRCS : Trauma and Orth). Dr. Dipanwita Sen completed her
specialist training and was awarded FRCOG degree from Royal College of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology, London. Both of these qualifications are recognised
worldwide for consultant level job prospects.
At this
point there was no dearth of opportunities to stay and work as consultant in
the UK or anywhere in India. But both of them had a soft corner for the heat
and dust of the city of Durgapur and that prevailed over all the golden
prospects of staying in midst of luxury and comfort of the western world. So
there was no second thought and both the doctors along with their only child
flew back to Durgapur where the journey had begun long ago. Initially they
worked in a large multi-speciality hospital for some time when they established
their name and fame by sheer hard work with a outlook of the western world.
Their commitment to the people just did not end at the hospital door but
reached far beyond i.e. up to the full recovery of the patient at his/her
domestic environment – a complete 360 degree care. This is what made them stand
apart the rest in the community.
Just to
expand this concept of complete management PRAYAS was created in 2017. Both Dr.
Dipankar and Dr. Dipanwita believed in team care approach, where each
components of treatment will be suitably delivered by an trained personnel.
This is like a musical performance where few musicians play along the same tune
to generate a symphony. Treatment at PRAYS is not just a prescription of few
medicines or injection or doing a surgery. Under the guidance of the doctors
the team members of Physiotherapist, dietician or the fitness experts play
their specific role and deliver a complete treatment till the patient is back
to normal life style – that is what makes them different from other treatment
centres.
PRAYAS is
not restricted to medical treatment of few diseases, but they play a bigger
role in the community by some other associated work. They play a significant
role to educate people by various health awareness programmes, they publish
informative literature on common topics in the print as well as digital media,
and they participate in similar programmes arranged by other associations in
the society. These are done with the sole intent of making people aware of
common health ailments with some simple solutions, and this is already having
significant positive impact on the health situation of the people. Residents of
Durgapur do not need to travel to far of cities for joint replacement,
arthroscopy or laparoscopic surgeries any more. The facilities and services
provided by PRAYAS are known and recognised not just in or around Durgapur, but
its healing touch has spread all over the country and beyond its boundaries.
Today Dr.
Dipankar and Dr. Dipanwita live happily at Durgapur with their family, and
PRAYAS with its team members are just considered as an extended family. They
look after every minute details at the institution for better functioning and
improvement of patient care. They listen to every single suggestion from anyone
and work upon them for better performance standards. From its beginning more
than 100000 people have been treated at PRAYAS with a satisfaction rate of 96%,
a figure hard to match in any standards. These people are the biggest strength and
asset of the institution, providing a constant source of motivation for better
performance, thereby paving the way towards further growth and prosperity. The journey in pursuance of excellence
completed a full turn for both the doctors in their home city of Durgapur, a
rare feat accomplished by few fortunate people.
Finally PRAYAS is seeking your help, advice, blessings as
well as constructive criticism to continue to deliver best possible healthcare
from their premises as long as possible – that is our final goal of lifetime.
