Gujarat : Welcare Hospital, in association with Meril, has launched “OrthoSutra – An Experience Centre”, India’s first comprehensive platform that integrates preventive healthcare, patient education, and surgical training. This centre is the brainchild of Dr. Bharat Mody, one of India’s most renowned orthopaedic surgeons with more than 30 years of expertise in joint replacement surgeries. This launch signifies a paradigm shift in the healthcare ecosystem—from a reactive approach focused on treatment to a proactive approach centered on awareness and prevention.
The concept of OrthoSutra stems from a simple yet powerful idea: healthcare must go beyond the operating room. The centre has been meticulously designed to serve two critical objectives. The first is patient education—empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to maintain healthy joints, prevent orthopaedic conditions, and understand treatment options when necessary. The second is professional mentoring—providing young orthopaedic surgeons and medical students with structured exposure, real-time surgical insights, and interactive learning sessions led by globally recognized experts.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Bharat Mody, Founder of Welcare Hospital, said:“OrthoSutra is not just a centre; it is a movement. We aim to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare professionals by offering transparent education and high-quality training. By focusing on preventive strategies and skill development, we hope to reduce the growing burden of joint diseases while shaping the next generation of surgical talent.”
Carrying forward this vision is the next generation of orthopaedic leaders at Welcare—Dr. Aashay Mody and Dr. Kshitij Mody, sons of Dr. Bharat Mody. Both are technically skilled, academically strong, and widely regarded as promising young surgeons in the city. Together, they bring youthful energy, global exposure, and a modern outlook to Welcare Hospital—ensuring that the OrthoSutra Experience Centre not only reflects Dr. Bharat Mody’s legacy but also the progressive spirit of the new generation.
Mr. Manish Deshmukh, CMO, Meril, said:“Meril, as a leading innovator in medical technology, is committed to creating a sustainable healthcare ecosystem that emphasizes prevention, precision, and patient empowerment. With OrthoSutra, we will educate patients through knowledge and enable surgeons with cutting-edge technology and training.
