“We are not just focused on healing their ailments. We are more concerned with their recovery process and how much stress they can apply to their joints once they are healed, as well as how much they can push themselves. 

“We chose Sivasangari for the launch today because of her resilience and she has been a huge inspiration for the nation after recovering from her injury.

“We have had several sports figures coming to us in the past, but Sivasangari is someone special to us. 

“We want to convey to the athletes that Prince Court is a one-stop centre and we will provide holistic care for everyone,” said Dr. Shuba.

Other than orthopaedic treatments, Prince Court is expanding its services to include oncology, neuroscience, and otolaryngology treatments for national athletes. 

The new orthopaedic facility will feature 14 consultation rooms and five treatment rooms in a contemporary setting. – May 27, 2024
