Patient Experience
As a 78-year-old retired botanist with rare autoimmune vasculitis, I was turned away by multiple hospitals until Dr. Asis Mitra's innovative plasmapheresis protocol at Manipal Hospital Dhakuria reversed my kidney failure.

His ability to connect seemingly unrelated symptoms saved her cognitive function.
During a routine executive health check-up, Dr. Mitra detected subtle ECG changes that everyone else missed.

At 42, I became the youngest cardiac patient he'd prevented from having a massive heart attack.

Dr. Mitra created a unique swallowing rehabilitation program using music therapy and modified her medications to avoid hospital-acquired delirium. She's now eating solid foods again.
After years of mysterious gastrointestinal issues across three countries, Dr. Mitra identified my case as Mediterranean fever triggered by a genetic mutation. His treatment with colchicine changed my life when even Mayo Clinic specialists had been stumped.
My husband's industrial chemical exposure led to multiple organ failure. While other hospitals prepared us for the worst, Dr. Mitra's team used experimental charcoal hemoperfusion and saved his life. His approach to occupational medicine is revolutionary.
