Innovations

Innovations are perhaps the foundation of Shalby’s success. Think about the future far ahead, and think in advance is Shalby’s motto. These and many innovations have catapulted Shalby Hospitals from a small 30 bed nursing home in 1994 to the current position of healthcare service leader in Western India. Some of the innovative ideas which are a part and parcel of Shalby’s School of Thought are:

  • Bone Bank: Bones from TKR are harvested and preserved. Such preserved bones are used by other orthopaedic surgeons to fill huge gaps in bones in other patients.
  • Large Joint Inventory: On many occasions Shalby’s large inventory of prosthetic joints has helped other hospitals.
  • Joint Replacement Registry: This is a record of patients undergoing joint replacement and helps in statistical analysis and Surgical Research.
  • ‘0’ Technique in TKR: This method for TKR surgery reduces time and risk and helps in early ambulation and recovery.
  • Shalby ‘We Care’ Program: All senior staff members not related to clinical department visit patients to ask after their well being and offer help where needed.
  • Friends of Shalby Foundation: A non profit organisation which conducts health awareness lectures and free check up camps for the needy Shalby Times: It is a patient centric magazine which guides patients about the latest and the best treatment options.
