Building on an exceptional legacy of 700+ successful liver transplants in the past seven years, the Liver OPD Suite integrates specialised paediatric hepatology, paediatric liver transplantation, metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) management, hepatorenal care for patients with combined liver and kidney failure, liver oncology services, and dedicated pathways for rare inherited liver disorders. By bringing expert hepatologists, transplant surgeons, oncologists and multidisciplinary specialists together under one roof, the hospital aims to ensure faster diagnosis, coordinated treatment decisions and improved patient outcomes.

Fortis Healthcare Group COO Anil Vinayak highlighted that India's liver disease landscape has evolved significantly, with rising cases linked to obesity, diabetes, genetic disorders and complex multi-organ conditions that demand integrated specialist care. The upgraded Liver OPD Suite has therefore been designed as a comprehensive clinical ecosystem that streamlines the entire patient journey—from diagnosis to advanced medical, interventional, surgical and transplant care—ensuring timely access to the right treatment.

Dr. Joy Varghese, Director – Hepatology & Transplant Hepatology, emphasised that the hospital's vision extends beyond transplantation by enabling early detection, precision medicine and coordinated lifelong liver care. With future advancements in genetic diagnostics, metabolic liver disease management and early cancer detection set to be incorporated into the facility, patients will benefit from a single access point to one of the country's most experienced liver care teams.

Adding to its remarkable achievements, Gleneagles Hospital ranks No.1 in Tamil Nadu for liver transplantation under the Chief Minister's Health Insurance Scheme with 200+ transplants, has been recognised as the Best Liver Transplant Team by the Government of Tamil Nadu, and has achieved several global and national milestones, including the world's first paediatric combined living donor kidney and liver transplant for Primary Hyperoxaluria Type II. The launch of the Liver OPD Suite marks yet another milestone in delivering world-class, patient-centric liver care in Chennai.
