A Privilege to Welcome a Distinguished International Orthopaedic Surgeon
It was a great honour and privilege for Evercare Medical Care Centre to welcome Dr. Ashok V. Acharya, Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon from England, with a special interest in Foot and Ankle Surgery. Dr. Acharya is attached to Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust, where he is actively involved in the management of complex orthopaedic and foot and ankle conditions.
The primary purpose of his visit was to gain first-hand experience in the cost-effective management of diabetic foot ulcers, an area in which Evercare Medical Care Centre has developed significant expertise through practical, patient-centred approaches and multidisciplinary care.
The visit provided an excellent opportunity for the exchange of knowledge, clinical insights, and best practices in diabetic limb salvage and wound care. Dr. Acharya expressed great interest in the innovative yet affordable treatment strategies adopted at the centre, recognising their potential value in improving patient care across different healthcare settings.
On his return to the United Kingdom, Dr. Acharya will be sharing the knowledge and experience gained during this visit with the Orthopaedic Society of the UK, helping to promote greater awareness of effective and economically sustainable approaches to diabetic foot management.
We are deeply honoured by his visit and grateful for the opportunity to foster international collaboration. Such professional exchanges strengthen global partnerships, encourage continuous learning, and ultimately contribute to better outcomes for patients living with diabetic foot disease worldwide.
During his visit, Dr. Acharya also shared his reflections on the experience:
"As an orthopaedic surgeon from London, UK, I had the opportunity today to visit Evercare and observe Dr. Sree’s approach to wound care. It was an outstanding learning experience.
I was deeply impressed by his clinical expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and, above all, his genuine compassion and commitment to his patients. His thoughtful, evidence-based approach to complex wound management is truly exemplary.
Evercare itself is an exceptional facility, with standards, infrastructure, and clinical capabilities that are comparable to leading wound care centres anywhere in the Western world.
I would highly recommend Dr. Sree to both colleagues wishing to learn from one of the best in the field and to local and international patients seeking world-class wound care in Penang. It was a privilege to observe his work."
