Renowned PMR Specialist Aastik Bhatt Joins HCAH

In a recent development, HCAH, India's leading full-stack rehab and geriatric platform, has welcomed Aastik Bhatt, a distinguished physiatrist, to its esteemed team. The healthcare provider in a statement on Wednesday further said that Bhatt's arrival marks a significant milestone for HCAH, positioning them as the first out-of-hospital care provider in India to offer specialised Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) services. 

Physiatrists, commonly known as PMR specialists, play a pivotal role in patient care, overseeing treatment for various conditions ranging from strokes to chronic neuromuscular ailments. They act as guides, offering personalised treatment plans and making medical decisions, thereby streamlining treatment and reducing hassles and costs for patients.

Bhatt brings extensive experience and a dedication to personalised care to HCAH. With a focus on tailoring treatment plans to address individual patient needs, his goal is to ensure faster and optimal recovery for each patient.

Commenting on his role, Bhatt emphasises, "Each patient is a unique case with varying levels of impairment. As a PMR specialist, my role is to tailor treatment plans to their individual needs, ensuring faster and optimal recovery."

Gaurav Thukral, Co-Founder and COO of HCAH India underscores the significance of this milestone, stating, "We are committed to meeting India's PMR needs by offering expert-led PMR services in out-of-hospital settings. This pioneering initiative will be key to delivering superior patient outcomes and enhancing rehabilitation efforts."

Leading a highly trained multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation team at the HCAH Rehab and Recovery Centre in Navi Mumbai, Bhatt specialises in high-precision day care procedures specifically required for patients with various neurological conditions or chronic pain. His expertise includes minimally invasive ultrasound-guided interventional pain management procedures, further enhancing HCAH's comprehensive rehabilitation services.

As the only out-of-hospital provider of PMR services in India, HCAH's expansion addresses the critical need for specialised care and underscores its commitment to making rehabilitation more accessible and convenient for patients nationwide. Through multidisciplinary expertise and advanced centres, HCAH aims to raise awareness about PMR services and improve outcomes for patients across the country.

Aastik Bhatt's distinguished career and extensive experience in acute neurorehabilitation cases, combined with his commitment to patient-centered care, further solidify HCAH's position as a leader in out-of-hospital rehabilitation services.
