Kanungo Institute of Diabetes Specialities (KIDS) coming up in Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar- Cuttack- Puri, HEALTHCARE and HOSPITALS, Khordha November 12th. 2008, 4:09pmFollowing is an excerpt from a report in Hindu.
"As India has been declared as diabetes capital of the world, a world class diabetes care facility is badly needed in the country," director of Cuttack Diabetes Research Foundation (CDRF), Dr Alok Kanungo, told reporters here.
Billed as the first of its kind in eastern India, the ultra modern Rs 15 crore Kanungo Institute of Diabetes Specialities (KIDS) would be inaugurated here by chief minister Naveen Patnaik on November 14, coinciding with the World Diabetes Day, he said.
World centres like Karolinska institute of Sweden which decides Nobel prize in medicine has joined hands with KIDS and CDRF to extend all technical support for advance research and training, said Kanungo.
"The institute will be equipped with latest equipment, trained manpower, fully computerised systems and everything which is required for diabetes management," he said adding it would be a boon for not only Orissa, home to over 30 lakh diabetics, but for entire eastern India.
Diabetics are 25 times more likely to turn blind, 17 times more prone to kidney ailment and three times more prone to heart disease, said Kanungo.
Kids would initially have a 100-bed hospital block, out patient block to handle 1000 patients per day for treatment, major and minor operation theatres, foot care, eyecare, kedney, cardiology, neurology, nutrition, physiotherapy and other departments.

As I myself worked under him long day before I have been witnessing Dr.kanungo’s endeavor towards establishment of a diabetes research center in Odisha region. It is one of its kind of research center paying special attention towards the patients of juvenile diabetes /kids effected with diabetes.I have observed how Dr.Kanungo incessantly in his way of achievement for this benevolent institute covering all round diagnosis and prevention of complications in diabetes .This institute now known as KIDS has got all branches startng from nephrology to neurology ,opthalmology and also it has got a state of art immunology lab.
Apart from that there are food nutrition and dietary adviser for the patients .Also Dr.kanungo’s contribution and help for the common people to eradicate the false myths and fear related to diabetes is remarkable and has got a worth for the diabetics.
my sincere request for him is to start a unit related to search and invent new molecules combating different types of diabetes out of herbal sources.If a foreign states like USA and CHINA can extract new anti-diabetic drugs from herbal sources and after clinical trial getting so much successes ,why not in India ?if USA,CHINA<EUROPIAN union states can earn millions and billions of money by selling herbal drugs why not India? The only thing is rare learned icons like Dr.Alok kanungo are not paying attention. please conduct research and clinical trials with the standardized herbal extracts to discover new anti-diabetic drugs.
Hope dr.Alok Kanungo will focus some light of wit and perseverance in this branch. It is also my request for him from the core of my heart.
