Patients will have access to both outpatient and day care treatment options at the pain clinic, said Dr Arvind Rajgure, associate professor of the department of anaesthesiology and trained in pain management

A personal connection

Dr Shukre said that there are many patients in the community who need a pain clinic. I was in pain myself and received treatment from the very doctors who will be treating patients here at the GMCH pain clinic.
