Own India's Specialised Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic
EDFC invites doctors and healthcare entrepreneurs to open a dedicated diabetic foot care centre - with complete clinical protocols, equipment guidance, staff training, proprietary software and marketing support from EDFC HQ.
Territory-exclusive · Tier 1, 2 & 3 cities across India
India's diabetes epidemic has created a specialty nobody is serving.
Every diabetic foot patient in India today moves between a physician, a surgeon and a chemist - losing weeks at each step. There is no organised network built specifically for this condition.
EDFC is that network. Every EDFC centre brings expert care closer to the patient - and a high-demand, specialised healthcare business to the franchise partner.
Check Availability in My CityA clinical franchise built exclusively around diabetic foot care.
Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic is a specialised clinical franchise built entirely around the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetic foot complications.
Founded and led by Dr. Ashutosh Shah, a specialist in diabetic foot management and limb salvage surgery, EDFC has developed a clinical model now ready to expand across India through a structured, ethically designed franchise network.
This is not a general clinic with a diabetic foot department. Every protocol, every piece of equipment, every training module and every line of software is built for one condition.
