Chairman, GEM
My journey in becoming a gastroenterologist began when I witnessed patients dying of inoperable GI cancers. As mentioned in my autobiography GUTS, my passion towards laparoscopy began realising the need for helping agricultural patients return to work early after all kinds of surgeries including cancer surgeries. Thus my journey of laparoscopic cancer surgery began and today all kinds of cancer surgeries can be made possible using laparoscopy.
With Cancer emerging to be a speciality of its own, we want to use our expertise in establishing a world class standalone cancer institute with the intent of providing the best possible cancer treatment for all kinds of cancers, intended at complete eradication and cure. This GEM CANCER INSTITUTE will be in lines of the GEM ideologies of providing world class care at affordable cost.
