Srinagar, May 24: Marengo Asia Hospitals and Dr Punit Singla, Liver Transplant Surgeon collaborated with AGI, the Gastrociti at Orison Hospital, Ludhiana to launch OPD facilities for patients with liver problems.
The OPD will be led by Dr Punit Singla, Liver Transplant Surgeon, and his team between 11 am and 4 pm. The AGI team from Orison Hospital was represented by Dr Nirmaljeet Singh Malhi, Dr Rajiv Grover and Dr Jagmeet Dhingra.
Dr Punit Singla, Director & HOD Liver Transplant, Marengo Asia Hospitals said that nothing can be more elevating than witnessing health at its best in the patients a surgeon has treated through organ transplantation. The liver is the only visceral organ to possess remarkable regenerative potential.
In other words, the liver grows back. This regenerative potential is the reason why partial liver transplants are feasible. Once a portion or lobe of the liver is transplanted, it will regenerate in both patient and the donor. There are several reasons why patients need a liver transplant.
“Our effort through this event is to dispel any apprehensions or fears about the surgical procedure. We have brought our patients to interact and spread awareness on how the surgery can benefit any individual who requires this surgery for a better life and better future”, he added.
