The Reasoning
My journey in becoming a gastroenterologist began when I witnessed patients dying of inoperable GI cancers. Also as mentioned in my autobiography GUTS , my passion towards laparoscopy began realising the need for helping agricultural patients return to work early after all kinds of surgeries including cancer surgeries. Thus my journey of laparoscopic cancer surgery began and today all kinds of cancer surgeries can be made possible using laparoscopy and I’m proud GEM as a brand has been instrumental in placing Coimbatore in the world map of laparoscopic surgery
With Cancer emerging to be a speciality of its own , we want use our expertise in establishing a world class standalone cancer institute with the intent of providing the best possible cancer treatment for all kinds of cancers ,intended at complete eradication and cure.
