Guwahati, May 15: Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai, today announced the launch of their Oncology & Hepatology and Gastroenterology OPD services, at multiple locations in Guwahati.
The OPD Services were launched in the presence of Dr Ganesh Nagarajan, Director – Hepatobiliary Pancreatic & Gastrointestinal Oncosurgery and Dr. Gaurav Chaubal, Director – HPB Surgery, Liver and Multi Organ Transplant from Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai.
Dr Ganesh Nagarajan will be available at Trinitas Medharbor Superspeciality Healthcare & Diagnostics, VIP Rd, Six Mile and Dr. Gaurav Chaubal will be available at Aaryan Gastrointestinal Clinic, Ganeshguri for primary consultations, on third Friday every month from 3 PM to 4 PM.
Speaking about the objective of the OPD services, Dr Ganesh Nagarajan, Director, Hepatobiliary Pancreatic and Gastrointestinal Oncosurgery, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai said, “Clinical observations show a rise in specific type of cancers in Guwahati, largely attributed to tobacco use, specific dietary habits, and environmental influences.
Attributing to lack of awareness and lack of clinical expertise, symptoms are often overlooked and diagnosis is delayed leading to poor prognosis. Our goal is to detect the cancer in early stages and offer advanced treatment options to give the patients of Guwahati and surrounding cities a better quality of life.”
Highlighting the importance of early intervention, Dr. Gaurav Chaubal, Director – HPB Surgery, Liver and Multi Organ Transplant, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai said, “Liver diseases pose a serious health risk, often leading to complications like liver failure if left untreated.
Genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle and environmental factors have been causing a steady rise in acute and chronic liver diseases in several parts of India.
Through the launch of these specialised OPD services in Guwahati, they will screen high-risk adults and children, provide timely care, and significantly improve the standards of liver and gastroenterological health of the region.
The experts further emphasized on key symptoms of HPB, Gastrointestinal cancers and Liver Failure such as recurrent fever, jaundice, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight-loss.
Other concerning signs such as fatigue, frequent vomiting, and easy bruising necessitate immediate medical evaluation to prevent severe complications.
Recognizing the need for accessible Cancer and Liver care, Nanavati Max Super Speciality hospital has established over 17 OPDs across multiple locations in four states, including Amravati in Maharashtra, as part of its mission to extend specialized medical expertise beyond metropolitan cities and make advanced healthcare more accessible to all.
