Dr Arulprakash S

Senior Consultant & Clinical Lead
Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology

The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology has been set up in response to the significant increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. These diseases do not present as major irritants initially and are therefore, ignored or inadequately treated. However, GI and liver diseases can worsen over time and affect other vital organs of the body. We provide patients with the best treatment plan and help manage their condition thereafter.
