Meerut: North India’s leading healthcare provider, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj (New Delhi) today announced launch of its exclusive gastrointestinal care OPD services in the city. The OPD services will be available at Max Med Centre, Meerut (1st floor, S2S Square mall, Garh Road, Meerut) on every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month between 2 PM to 4 PM where senior clinician from the Delhi hospital will cater to patients by providing consultations and treatment for various types of liver, gastrointestinal diseases including various gastrointestinal cancers.
This is yet another patient centric step taken by the leading healthcare provider to provide comprehensive gastrointestinal care to patients under one roof. The patients will be able to access the best-in-class healthcare services in their vicinity without having to bear the hassle of travelling to a metro city for treatment.
Experts also briefed about how early and prompt treatment can significantly improve treatment outcome in such cases.
During the launch of the OPD services, Dr. P K Mishra, Director- Gastrointestinal Oncology, Gastrointestinal Surgery, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj said, “There has been a significant rise in gastrointestinal problems in the country with gastrointestinal cancer cases gaining prevalence in the recent times. But the good news is that treatment modules have also been improving day-by-day. One such aspect is robotic surgery, which has been a great addition to the spectrum of highly advanced surgical techniques performed by surgeons. The surgeries have become minimally invasive and provide an innovative approach in the treatment of cancer, ensuring minimal blood loss, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays.”
As per the recent data provided by Globacan India 2020, gastrointestinal cancers have accounted for over 15% of the total cancer burden on the country with the incidences of such cases rising significantly every year.
“One of the key motives of these OPD services is to curb the cases of gastrointestinal cancers, as one of the biggest reasons for the rise in such cases is lack of awareness among the general public about the early signs and symptoms which leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment causing poor prognosis. Poor lifestyle choices including unhealthy dietary intake with dependence on junk food, along with binge alcoholism and erratic sleep patterns are some of the major known causes of the exponential rise in such cases. Early and prompt treatment can help prevent the rise in GI diseases. These OPD services, with the help of experienced and highly qualified doctors, are aimed to provide the best-in-class healthcare treatment for patients suffering from GI diseases,” Said Dr. Mishra.
Over the past few years, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Patparganj has been actively working towards offering international standards of healthcare facilities in different regions across the country under one roof.
