Gurgaon-based Medanta – The Medicity has extended its specialized kidney care and transplant services to Guwahati, aiming to address pressing renal health issues in the North Eastern region. Recognized as India’s Best Private Hospital by Newsweek for six consecutive years, Medanta held a healthcare awareness event in Guwahati, highlighting advanced techniques in kidney cancer treatment and renal transplants.
Dr. Sanjay Gogoi, Chairman of Urology and Renal Care, stressed the benefits of Nephron Sparing Surgery, which preserves kidney function while excising tumors, enhancing patients’ quality of life compared to traditional kidney removal. Dr. Manish Jain, Senior Director of Nephrology, outlined the complexities of kidney transplants and emphasized the need for greater awareness, noting India’s 13,400 kidney transplants in 2024 fall far short of the nearly 2 lakh patients on waiting lists.
The introduction of Medanta’s multi-specialty OPD at Sunvalley Hospital on GS Road, Mathura Nagar, Bormotoria, represents a significant boost to local healthcare infrastructure. Residents can now access world-class nephrology care and consultations without traveling to metros, reflecting growing demand for high-quality medical services in the city. This expansion aligns with Medanta’s plans to establish a 400-bed super specialty hospital, reinforcing its commitment to delivering advanced healthcare to underserved communities across the country.
