Medanta – The Medicity, consistently ranked India’s top private hospital by Newsweek, has strategically expanded its kidney care and transplant services to Guwahati, marking a significant development in the North Eastern healthcare sector. The move aims to address increasing kidney-related health challenges while providing specialized expertise closer to underserved markets.
At a healthcare awareness event in Guwahati, Dr. Sanjay Gogoi, Chairman of Urology and Renal Care, emphasized Nephron Sparing Surgery, which removes kidney tumors while preserving functional renal tissue, enhancing patients’ quality of life. Dr. Manish Jain, Senior Director of Nephrology, highlighted the intricacies of kidney transplants, noting the gap between supply and demand in India, with 13,400 transplants conducted in 2024 against nearly 2 lakh applicants awaiting procedures.
Medanta’s Guwahati expansion presents a valuable opportunity for residents of Nagaland to access advanced kidney care without traveling to distant metros. The availability of multi-specialty OPDs in Guwahati acts as a regional healthcare hub, offering consultations, diagnostics, and treatment options that can stimulate local healthcare demand and indirectly influence related medical services. Medanta’s planned 400-bed super specialty hospital in Guwahati underscores its strategic investment in the North East, reflecting confidence in the region’s growing demand for premium healthcare services and specialized renal care.
