The clinic is spearheaded by Internationally Trained surgeon Dr Anirban Deep Banerjee, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata.
Dr Anirban Deep Banerjee said, “Movement Disorders are neurological syndrome where there may be excess of movement of a paucity of movement which affects the speed, fluency or smoothness, quality and ease of movement. We are now able to provide relief and steadiness in movements by implanting pacemakers and Intrathecal systems. We also undertake programming of the pacemakers and such devices which have been implanted elsewhere and patients do not have to travel outside state and the country for such issues."

Speaking on the occasion Dr. Rupali Basu, CEO, Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals said, "The advanced Movement Disorder Clinic will definitely bring a change to many lives whose movements and daily activities are compromised because of Parkinson’s and other such disease.”
