Kolkata, January 10, 2025 – AM Medical Centre, recognized as one of the best day-care facilities in Eastern India, hosted a thought-provoking panel discussion on the theme “Exploring Emerging Health Trends: Personalized Wellness Plans and the Rise of Holistic Health Approaches.” The event brought together a panel of esteemed specialists to shed light on the future of healthcare and its growing emphasis on personalized and holistic wellness.
AM Medical Centre, a state-of-the-art medical facility, offers a comprehensive range of services, including eye care, dental care, ENT, and general health check-ups. With expertise spanning 33 medical departments such as dentistry, IVF, general medicine, dermatology, and ophthalmology, the centre is renowned for delivering world-class care and innovative surgical solutions that bring smiles to its patients.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Moon Chattaraj, a renowned prosthodontist, highlighted the broader significance of dental health, explaining, “Dental health is not just about a beautiful smile; it’s a cornerstone of overall health. Issues like gum disease and tooth loss can contribute to systemic inflammation, accelerating aging and impacting overall well-being. By maintaining strong oral hygiene and integrating prosthodontic care, we can help patients look and feel younger for longer while improving their overall health.”
Dr. Abhirup Maulik, Medical Director and Consultant Orthopedic, discussed advancements in arthritis management, explaining how modern treatment modalities are transforming care and improving patients’ quality of life.
Dr. Shreya Poddar, a consultant dermatologist, underscored the need to address skin health holistically, stating, “Skin rejuvenation goes beyond cosmetic treatments. It requires a deep understanding of how external and internal factors impact the skin. Coupled with the right skincare regimen, targeted therapies like laser treatments and microneedling can stimulate collagen production, restoring youthful vibrancy and enhancing skin health from within.”
Dr. Somdutt Prasad, a consultant ophthalmologist, addressed the challenges faced by prolonged screen users and the significance of managing diabetic retinopathy, urging individuals to adopt good screen habits and undergo regular eye check-ups to protect their vision.
Dr. Suvadip Chakrabarti, a consultant oncologist, brought attention to India’s alarming status as the “Cancer Capital of the World” in 2024. He remarked, “Cancer is primarily a lifestyle disease. Maintaining good oral hygiene, using proper tooth implants, avoiding smoking, and practicing proper menstrual hygiene, along with HPV vaccination, can significantly reduce the risk of cancer. Westernization of diets and increased alcohol consumption contribute to the rising cases of breast cancer in women and colon cancer in men. Regular health check-ups, adherence to healthy lifestyles, and early detection are key to effective cancer prevention and management.”
Dr. Kausiki Ray Sarkar, an IVF specialist, elaborated on the significance of egg freezing, describing it as a crucial advancement in modern reproductive health that empowers women with greater control over their fertility.
Dt. Neeta Dey, a consultant nutritionist, emphasized the critical role of nutrition in anti-aging and overall wellness, stating, “You are what you eat – and nowhere is this more apparent than in the aging process. A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can combat free radical damage, improve skin elasticity, support dental health, and tie oral care and skincare together for holistic anti-aging benefits.”
Mr. Kanad Maitra, Director of AM Medical Centre, emphasized the importance of staying ahead of healthcare innovations by embracing personalized wellness and holistic health. He remarked, “At AM Medical Centre, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve by embracing emerging trends in personalized wellness and holistic health. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expert care across 33 medical departments empower us as one of the leading day-care facilities in Eastern India.
