The Guardian of Your Hearing. The Pioneer of ENT Care in Kerala.
With 49 years in healthcare and over one million patients treated, Dr. Panicker is described as the busiest and most well-known ENT surgeon in Kerala.
His career began in tribal areas like Mancode and Pathanapuram, serving the underprivileged. This ethos continues at Santhwana Hospital, which focuses on affordability for lower-income populations.
He organized the first Live Head & Neck Surgery Workshop in Kerala (1994) and pioneered advanced ENT care in peripheral hospitals like Adoor and Peroorkada.
As the National Chairman of NISS and Past President of IMA Trivandrum, he shapes health policy and public awareness on a national scale.
