Navi Mumbai: Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai (AHNM) has launched its Seniors First Geriatrics Clinic, a dedicated centre offering specialized care for senior citizens. The clinic will be led by Dr. Sayali Damle and Dr. Shwet Sabnis, Consultants in Geriatric Medicine, and will provide preventive, rehabilitative, and chronic care services under one roof.
Growing Need for Specialized Elderly Care in India
India’s elderly population is projected to reach 319 million by 2050, making up almost one in five citizens. Currently, nearly three-fourths of seniors live with at least one chronic illness, while almost half struggle with mobility issues. However, access to specialized geriatric care remains scarce, with fewer than 100 trained geriatricians nationwide.
Comprehensive Services Offered
The AHNM clinic will offer comprehensive assessments, chronic disease management, fall and frailty prevention, mobility training, cognitive and mental health support, nutrition counselling, post-operative rehabilitation, and physiotherapy.
It will also integrate services through Apollo HomeCare and Apollo 24/7, extending nursing, diagnostics, and medication management into patients’ homes. A dedicated helpline 75-9696-9494 has been launched for seniors.
Experts Emphasise Holistic and Preventive Care
“Aging is not an illness—it is a natural journey that deserves compassion and tailored care,” said Dr. Sayali Damle. “Our aim is to focus on holistic, preventive, and continuous care so seniors can live with health and independence.”
Dr. Shwet Sabnis added, “The needs of older adults are often complex and interlinked. This clinic will act as a one-stop solution, ensuring seniors and their families no longer face fragmented care.”
