In a significant step, Paras Health Gurugram has launched its first liver transplant and GI oncology outpatient department (OPD) services at Tulip Hospital, Sonipat. This initiative aims to provide residents of Sonipat and surrounding regions with access to quality treatment options for complex liver and gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, mostly available in metropolitan cities. A press conference regarding the same was held at New Bulbul Restaurant, Atlas Road, Sonipat.
The newly established OPD will be headed by Dr. Vaibhaw Kumar, Director, Institute of Liver & GI Surgery, Paras Health Gurugram. Dr. Kumar is an experienced surgeon in performing complex procedures, including gallbladder cancer surgery, living donor liver transplants, pediatric liver transplants, and liver cancer surgery. With his expertise, he will provide consultation regarding treatment and surgery through OPD for liver and GI-related ailments in the region. However, the surgery of treatment for these diseases will be conducted at Paras Health, Gurugram.
Dr. Kumar expressed his commitment to providing standard care to patients in Sonipat. “We are excited to provide OPD services for liver transplant and GI oncology in the Sonipat area that has long required specialized medical attention. Our goal is to offer latest treatment and surgery options locally, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances for essential care. By establishing this OPD, we hope to make a great impact on the health outcomes of our patients,” he said.
Liver diseases and GI cancers require specialized care, often involving intricate surgical procedures and long-term management. With the introduction of liver transplant services, patients suffering from end-stage liver disease, acute liver failure, and certain liver cancers will now have the opportunity to receive life-saving treatments closer to home. The living donor liver transplant program is particularly noteworthy, offering an option for patients who cannot wait for a deceased donor liver.
Dr. Anurag Arora, Director, Cardiologist & Internal Medicine, Tulip Hospital said, “The introduction of liver transplant and GI oncology OPD services at Tulip Hospital marks a major milestone in our mission to bring the best possible healthcare to the residents of Sonipat. This collaboration with Paras Health will ensure that our patients receive quality care and timely consultations, significantly improving treatment outcomes for complex liver and GI conditions. We are proud to be part of this initiative and look forward to serving our community with the highest standards of medical excellence.”
The OPD services will focus on diagnosing and treating cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, including esophageal, stomach, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. The availability of these services within Sonipat will provide patients with comprehensive care, from early detection and diagnosis to surgical interventions and post-operative management, all under one roof.
