Under the institute, the hospital has launched five new clinics that will focus on various services, including liver health, weight loss, gastric disorders and gastrointestinal cancers
Cytecare Hospitals announced the launch of its Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Sciences. This first-of-its-kind institute will have five speciality clinics – liver clinic, pancreas clinic, obesity and weight loss clinic, bowel and stoma care clinic and gastritis clinic – under its ambit.
These clinics will provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of a range of gastrointestinal diseases. The team of doctors includes Dr Raghavendra Babu, Senior Consultant and Director – Gastrointestinal & HPB Surgery, and Dr Sharath Kote, Consultant – Medical Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
The institute was launched at the hospital in the presence of SR Vishwanath – Chairman, Bangalore Development Authority, Member of Legislative Assembly, Yelahanka, and Member of TTD Trust Board.
“A large number of gastrointestinal cases lead to cancer or other severe complications, if not diagnosed at the right stage. The idea of these clinics is to diagnose and detect early and deploy appropriate clinical methods to increase the chances of successful treatment. By bringing oncology and non-oncology services together under one roof, we can provide more comprehensive support to patients coming to us at different stages of their lifecycle,” said Dr Raghavendra Babu.
“While we continue to create public awareness, it is equally important to simultaneously build integrated healthcare infrastructure that can help patients with world-class medical care, including early detection and treatment. At Cytecare, we have always focused on providing holistic care to our patients. The launch of this Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Sciences will take this focus forward towards more evolved and advanced healthcare systems that focus on prevention over treatment”, said Suresh Ramu, Co-founder & CEO, Cytecare Hospitals.
