294 - Saving Limbs & Lives in India with Dr Sanjay Sharma
In this episode, I reconnect with Dr. Sanjay Sharma, a pioneering podiatrist revolutionising podiatry and foot care in India. Since appearing on the show three years ago, in 2020, Episode 103, Dr Sharma has established Foot Secure, a network of clinics providing complete podiatry services across Bangalore. Sanjay and his team treat up to 200 patients at their five locations daily, focusing on diabetes-related foot complications. Through early detection and intervention, Foot Secure has reduced below-knee and bony amputation rates to just 2.7%, a dramatic decrease from India's average of 19% across all hospitals.
