Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 14:<\/strong> The Pain Clinic commemorates its Foundation Day, marking the 12 November 2013 laying of the foundation stone of its current building by Prof. P. Prithvi Raj, legendary pioneer of interventional pain medicine and founder of the World Institute of Pain (WIP). In a letter to Founder-Director Dr. Gautam Das, Prof. Raj praised his \u201cuntiring efforts and dedication,\u201d acknowledging the determination that carried Daradia from a single-floor practice in September 2008 to beginning operations in the purpose-built facility on 5 November 2018\u2014and onward to its present role as a leader in patient care, physician education, and research.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Daradia has scaled a comprehensive, image-guided model of care that aligns clinical decision-making with rigorous training and measurable outcomes. The institute hosts an\u00a0annual international conference\u00a0featuring global faculty, case-based teaching, and live demonstrations. Its peer-reviewed editorial work around musculoskeletal ultrasound underscores the clinic\u2019s emphasis on anatomy, imaging, and safety in practice. A robust slate of\u00a0online courses and fellowships\u00a0has trained\u00a04,500+ physicians\u00a0worldwide through structured curricula, case discussions, and proctored evaluations that translate directly to the bedside. Hands-on learning remains central:\u00a0cadaveric workshops every three months\u00a0attract\u00a0150+ participants\u00a0to master ultrasound-guided MSK interventions and C-arm-guided spine procedures in small groups. Details on upcoming hands-on programs are available at Daradia\u2019s cadaveric workshop page (https:\/\/www.daradia.com\/cadaver-workshop<\/a>), while broader information on the institute\u2019s clinical and educational mission can be found at the main site (https:\/\/www.daradia.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Daradia\u2019s performance has been recognized nationally and internationally. Early milestones include the\u00a0Excellence in Pain Practice (EPP) Award\u00a0from the\u00a0World Institute of Pain\u00a0and the\u00a0\u201cBest Pain Clinic in India\u201d\u00a0citation from the\u00a0Indian Society for Study of Pain (ISSP)\u2014honors that reinforced the clinic\u2019s founding commitment to evidence-based protocols, imaging verification, and longitudinal follow-up. These same principles now inform fellowship assessments, simulator-assisted learning, and the clinic\u2019s expanding repository of procedural pathways.<\/p>\n

The institute\u2019s facilities integrate service with education.\u00a0Five ultrasound machines\u00a0support intensive MSK ultrasound learning alongside daily clinical use, while\u00a0four C-arm fluoroscopy units\u00a0enable advanced interventional procedures and faculty-supervised training. A dedicated\u00a0institutional ethics committee\u00a0oversees investigator-initiated and collaborative studies in pain medicine, ensuring research governance and enabling a steady pipeline of projects that refine protocols, curricula, and quality-improvement metrics. Trainees work through step-by-step pathways, live demonstration checklists, and post-course assessments so that what is taught is what is practiced\u2014safely, consistently, and compassionately.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Foundation Day we honor Prof. P. Prithvi Raj, who laid our foundation stone on 12 November 2013\u2014his vision still guides us as we train compassionate clinicians and expand access to precise, image-guided pain care,\u201d said\u00a0Dr. Sushpa Das, Chief Consultant, Daradia. \u201cOur focus remains on translating anatomy and imaging into reproducible techniques that improve patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daradia\u2019s\u00a0one-year fellowship\u00a0consolidates this philosophy, preparing physicians for independent, guideline-driven practice with sustained mentorship and outcomes tracking. The program\u2019s hybrid design blends asynchronous foundations, live virtual case rounds, and in-person labs, reinforcing diagnostic reasoning and procedural safety. Complementary\u00a0short-format online certificates\u00a0provide modular entry points for working clinicians, while alumni communities facilitate second opinions, case audits, and collaborative research across regions. The result is a global network that shares real-world experience, fosters academic exchange, and helps local teams adopt best practices quickly and responsibly.<\/p>\n

As Daradia observes Foundation Day each\u00a012 November, the institute renews its commitment to\u00a0patient-first, evidence-based, image-guided care; to expanding access through\u00a0fellowships, workshops, and digital learning; and to strengthening\u00a0research\u00a0that directly improves outcomes for people living with spine, joint, neuropathic, cancer, and regenerative pain conditions. With its expanding educational calendar, growing alumni base, and integrated research oversight, Daradia remains focused on the practical, day-to-day decisions that ensure safer procedures, better function, and sustained relief.<\/p>\n
