Apeksha Hospital in Dibrugarh Achieves Milestone with First Successful Kidney Transplant
In a groundbreaking development for healthcare in Assam, Apeksha Hospital in Dibrugarh has successfully completed its first-ever kidney transplant, marking a historic achievement for the region. The procedure, performed on October 1, 2024, demonstrated the hospital’s commitment to providing affordable and high-quality healthcare services.
The transplant involved a young patient who received a kidney donated by her mother. Unlike the high costs typically associated with such procedures at larger hospitals outside Assam, Apeksha Hospital was able to offer the treatment at a fraction of the usual expense. The successful operation stands as a testament to the expertise of the medical team and the hospital’s dedication to accessible healthcare.
The transplant was conducted with the support of a specialized team from Delhi, ensuring adherence to the highest standards of care. Led by the renowned nephrologist, Dr. Dibya Jyoti Kalita, the Renal Transplant team included skilled professionals such as Dr. Nandita Jaiwal, Dr. Anand Jain, Dr. Mridu Plaban Borah, Dr. Safdar Hayat Hussain, Dr. Vikas Kumar Agarwal, Dr. Raja Roy, and Dr. Abhinav Poddar. Their collective efforts, along with the assistance of experienced nurses, facilitated the smooth execution of this complex procedure.
Reflecting on the hospital’s achievement, Dr. Kalita highlighted the significance of making advanced medical treatments accessible. “This is a significant step towards ensuring that people in our region have access to the best possible care, regardless of their financial circumstances,” he said.
Dr. Ashok Kumar Agarwal, an active partner at Apeksha Hospital, echoed these sentiments. “Our unwavering goal is to provide the highest standards of care at affordable costs. We invite young doctors to return to Assam and contribute to the growth of healthcare in their hometowns. We are committed to providing the necessary infrastructure and support,” he stated.
As a leading healthcare institution in Dibrugarh, Apeksha Hospital has been at the forefront of delivering affordable, high-quality medical services. The hospital’s investment in state-of-the-art equipment and efforts to attract top talent have solidified its position as a premier healthcare provider in the region.
With the success of its first kidney transplant and plans for future expansions, Apeksha Hospital is set to make Dibrugarh a hub for advanced medical care, benefiting not only the local residents but also patients from neighboring areas seeking specialized treatment.
