Daradia's Foundation Day: Celebrating a Legacy in Pain Medicine

On November 12, 2025, Daradia The Pain Clinic in Kolkata, India, commemorated its Foundation Day, acknowledging the significant contributions of Prof. P.

This observance marks the anniversary of the foundation stone laid in 2013, which set the stage for Daradia's evolution from a modest one-floor clinic into a distinguished global center for pain care, education, and research.

A Journey of Transformation

Launched in September 2008 amidst the growing recognition of pain management needs, Daradia took a momentous step by commencing operations in its current facility on November 5, 2018. The clinic has since expanded its scope and reach, focusing on comprehensive, image-guided treatment approaches that prioritize patient care while concurrently enhancing educational capacities for professionals in the field.

Daradia’s approach includes structured annual international conferences and quarterly cadaveric workshops that attract over 150 physicians globally. The institution’s commitment to education is reflected in its online training initiatives and a comprehensive one-year fellowship that has empowered more than 4,500 doctors worldwide. Its editorial leadership includes contributions to respected journals such as the Journal of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Pain Medicine, reflecting a deep commitment to academic rigor and ethical standards.

Utilizing advanced facilities, including multiple ultrasound machines tailored for musculoskeletal ultrasound teaching and fluoroscopy units for hands-on training, the clinic emphasizes practical learning underpinned by rigorous protocols. Dr. Gautam Das, Founder-Director of Daradia, remarked, "Our journey reflects the relentless effort of our team, the trust of our patients, and the dedication of countless learners who embody best practices in their communities."
