By establishing the Heart & Lung Transplant Centre in Gurgaon, we are ensuring that families in North India no longer face the hardship of traveling far for a transplant. More importantly, our mission goes beyond survival — it is about restoring dignity, hope, and quality of life.”
Dr Devlina Chakravarty, Managing Director, Artemis Hospitals said “Artemis Hospital is pleased to bring this level of transplant expertise to North India, we believe this centre will become a lifeline for patients from Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi NCR and surrounding states who would otherwise have to travel far to access quality heart and lung transplant care.”
“Until now, many patients in North India facing end stage heart or lung disease had few local options,” said Dr Sandeep Attawar. “At Artemis Hospital we will combine a full transplant programme with the logistical, geographical and institutional advantages of Gurgaon’s proximity and inclusion in the National Capital region, which facilitates logistics thus reducing travel delays and improving outcomes.
