An estimated 25 crore Indians suffer from balance disorders like vertigo, yet the country has only 70-80 specialized clinics, according to neurotology expert Dr. Anirban Biswas. He noted that patients often see multiple specialists and undergo numerous tests without a proper diagnosis or cure, receiving only symptom-suppressing medication. The healthcare system lacks structured training and multidisciplinary clinics, with current diagnostics often overlooking critical balance and cognitive assessments, leading to ineffective treatments for many.
