NAGPUR:
Eurosleep, a network of hospitals in
Europe for treating sleep disorders through surgery, launched its Asia chapter
named Eurosleep-Asia on Sunday here. Neeti Clinics, run by ENT surgeon Dr Madan
Kapre, signed an MOU with the company, which is tying up with ten hospitals in
India under the Asia chapter.
In the
first phase four cities would have the Eurosleep-Asia centres; Nagpur, Mumbai,
New Delhi and Amritsar. The second phase would see launches in June at
Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune and Ahmedabad.
Mohan
Nair, CEO of Eurosleep in Asia region, said that though his company officials
met doctors at Mumbai hospital on Saturday, the formal launch from the city
would take place on Monday with the signing of a MOU.
The
launch of an Asia chapter is aimed at exchange of knowledge on the disease,
training in surgery and diagnosis, both in Norway and India, by experts from
Eurosleep. It is also an effort to generate a data pool for Asian population as
the extent of disorder varies in different genetic populations or races. The
African Americans are more prone as compared to Americans. The disorder could
have a hereditary cause or even socioeconomic reasons, he said.
Nair
pointed out that till now sleep disorder was estimated to be 2-4% but studies
conducted recently have shown an incidence of 16% in India. People generally
associate it with obesity but it can happen at any weight and age.
Dr
Kapre, who is starting the first surgical clinic for treating sleep apnea after
training in Norway, said the disorder is also caused by age, obesity, alcohol,
smoking and consumption of some drugs or medicines for relatively longer
periods.
