Why Patients and Families in Pune Can Count on Dr Sony Priyanka Velagala in an Emergency

In a medical emergency, the doctor who sees you first can determine everything that follows. Dr Velagala's DNB Emergency Medicine from Manipal Hospitals Bengaluru trained her in one of India's busiest and most advanced emergency departments, where she developed the ability to rapidly assess, prioritise, and treat patients across the full spectrum of emergencies. Her additional IDCCM means she can continue managing critically ill patients beyond the emergency room, providing seamless care from initial stabilisation through ICU-level support.

Her ISCCM membership keeps her connected with the critical care community, and her fluency in five languages (English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil) is an unusually practical advantage in the emergency department, where patients from South Indian backgrounds can communicate their symptoms and concerns in their own language during a time of acute distress. At Manipal Hospitals, Baner, she provides round-the-clock emergency and critical care readiness.
