Marengo Asia Hospitals has launched the Marengo Asia International Institute of Neuro & Spine (MAIINS) in Gurugram, aimed at strengthening protocol-led care for neurological and spine-related conditions. The facility will be led by neurologist Dr Praveen Gupta, who has also been appointed as Chairman, MAIINS and Chief of Clinical Strategy, Growth and Innovation at Marengo Asia Hospitals.
Dr Gupta has previously introduced interventions such as Asia’s first brain pacemaker for epilepsy, deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease, and stem cell transplants for multiple sclerosis. He is a gold medallist from AIIMS, New Delhi.
The institute will follow a multidisciplinary model, combining neurologists, spine surgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists, pain specialists, and rehabilitation experts under one unit. The infrastructure includes robotic-assisted spine surgery systems, advanced neuro-monitoring, neuro ICUs, and integrated rehabilitation services to support the entire care continuum.
Commenting on the launch, Dr Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director & Group CEO, Marengo Asia Hospitals, said, “At Marengo Asia Hospitals, we believe patients need to have the ease of accessing comprehensive care under one roof. With the launch of this institute, we take another significant step toward building specialised, outcome-driven Centres of Excellence that redefine accessibility, clinical leadership, and patient trust in neuro care across the region. Dr. Praveen Gupta brings not only deep clinical expertise but also a strong commitment to patient-first care, which aligns seamlessly with our vision.”
Speaking on the launch, Dr Gupta said, “It is a pleasure to join Marengo Asia Hospitals and head the Marengo Asia International Institute of Neuro & Spine (MAIINS). With MAIINS, our objective is to bring together clinical depth, advanced infrastructure, and preventive approach to neurological and spine health. Together, we aim to improve early diagnosis, deliver long-term disease management, and integrate mental health and geriatric neurology into mainstream care.”
MAIINS will also introduce specialised clinics for memory disorders, vertigo, movement disorders, and chronic neuro-pain. These clinics will follow a funnel model designed to strengthen outpatient-to-inpatient care and support early-stage detection.
Dr Saurabh Lall, Facility Director, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, added, “The launch of MAIINS marks a major leap in neurological and spine care delivery in Gurugram and surrounding regions. Located at a prime location of golf course extension road in Gurgaon, the facility is strategically positioned to serve not just the Millennium City but also key catchment areas across Delhi NCR and North India. The institute is aligned with our vision to expand our community outreach and establish clinic-based programs across residential clusters, educational institutions, and corporate hubs.”
The institute will also operate a Partial Hospitalisation Program (PHP) for mental health support in schools, workplaces, and residential communities. A parallel initiative in geriatric neurology will offer localised follow-up pathways for elderly patients.
