Two neurosurgeons from KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad, Dr. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Kondety and Dr. Savitr Sastri BV, held a joint event on July 29 to discuss brain and spine care. They warned against ignoring warning signs such as back pain, numbness, unsteadiness, or persistent headaches. The doctors highlighted the shift from traditional open surgeries to minimally invasive, technology-based methods using modern imaging and guidance systems for better accuracy and faster recovery. They stressed that not every problem requires surgery, but early detection can significantly improve outcomes. The event concluded with a call for public awareness and timely medical consultation.

The Hans India reported that the doctors emphasised the importance of recognising early symptoms rather than waiting for severe complications.
The message about early signs is sensible, but such campaigns risk stoking needless worry over ordinary aches. Not every back pain or headache signals a brain or spine problem. The doctors themselves said not all cases need surgery. The real test is whether patients can access affordable diagnostics without long queues. Until then, awareness alone leaves half the job undone.
