Announcing the launch of the Clinic, Dr. Rajendra Patankar, Chief Operating Officer, NSSH, said, "The amalgam of rich clinical experience of the team, advanced medical technologies, procedures and high quality of care at NSSH, is a new ray of hope for all chronic liver disease patients."
"We are known for high clinical standards and a wide spectrum of treatment options available at patient’s disposal.
