A collective of Orthopaedics came together and launched Orthopod Online in 2019. Orthopod Online (OO) is a digital platform that covers the entire spectrum of orthopaedic care including General orthopaedics, Hip & Knee, Spine, Children’s orthopaedics, Sports medicine, Physiotherapy, Pain management and Holistic care.
OO is a virtual clinic of a group of reputed doctors, with decades of experience and credibility, who have come together to provide high-quality healthcare for patients through in-person & online consultations (through Tele-Health), second opinions, follow-up consultations etc. OO also provides a wealth of information on bone and joint issues and diseases through online and physical consultations.
OO has partnered with Doctorscabin Health Technologies, a company with strong expertise in digital health technologies and platforms since 2011. Dr Vijay Shetty, a mentor and full-time consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Hiranandani Hospital, Mumbai says “A steady rise in ageing population and lifestyle shifts has resulted in deteriorating bone and joint conditions that do not have access to good orthopaedic specialists. Orthopod online aims to provide a platform for patients to access top-quality orthopaedic care under one roof. Telehealth, as promoted by the Indian Government, can be very useful for those patients who are unable to visit doctors, especially post-surgery.”
According to WHO, there is a serious scarcity of doctors in general, and orthopaedic specialists, in India. It is estimated that despite 840,000 registered medical practitioners, India still faces a shortfall of over 600,000! Even more alarming is that the number of qualified orthopaedic surgeons in India is roughly 20,000 for a population of over 1.3 billion people.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon at OO, Dr Saurabh Talekar says, “First, the platform offers a modern way to engage with patients anywhere they are and for the consultants, OO offers complete clinic management platform and information and resources. As a young surgeon, I feel that this will be particularly helpful in the future.”
Vikram Nair, CEO of DoctorsCabin says, “This is a unique offering as it is a doctor-led initiative and platform. The technology serves the patients and doctors first and foremost.”
Orthopod Online is available on mobile apps for Android, iOS for telehealth features and on the web at www.orthopodonline.com.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict. Sanjay Kumar Mishra's successive extensions got brought to the Court's attention through petitions moved by opposition leaders like Randeep Singh Surjewala, Jaya Thakur, Mahua Moitra, and others. The Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice B. R. Gavai held that Mishra could hold on to his office up to July 31st at most, during which the Modi Government must ensure a “smooth transition in the larger public interest."  The previous judgments by the Supreme Court on the matter Back in 2021, the Modi Government had, via the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, made amendments to the necessary laws to safeguard the extension of the tenure...
