The clinic unites a multi-disciplinary team of specialists from Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur and the Gleneagles Hospital Group - one of India’s premier hospitals for transplant and advanced lung care with centres in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru and Mumbai. This collaboration is designed to offer expert guidance and cutting-edge treatment options for patients who have exhausted conventional medical therapy and require specialized evaluation for transplant or other advanced interventions.
The visiting Team of Doctors from Gleneagles Hospital Group comprises of Dr. Apar Jindal, Head of Department & Program Director of Lung Transplant and Dr. Tapaswi Krishna K, Senior Consultant in Pulmonology & Interventional Pulmonology, who will collaborate closely with Fortis Jaipur’s specialists in Pulmonology, Cardiology, and Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery to deliver a truly holistic, multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Ankit Bansal, Senior Consultant, Pulmonology & Critical Care at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur, said, “Many patients with advanced cardiac and end-stage lung conditions reach the limits of conventional medical management, yet lack clear guidance on what comes next. With the launch of the Heart & Lung Failure Clinic, we’ve established a structured care pathway that brings together national and international experts to jointly evaluate patients and guide them toward the most appropriate advanced treatment options and interventions.”
Dr. Apar Jindal, HOD & Program Director, Lung Transplant, Gleneagles Hospital Group said, “Patients with end-stage lung disease or advanced heart failure often reach a point where standard medical therapy is no longer sufficient, yet timely referral for advanced interventions or transplantation can significantly change outcomes. The Heart & Lung Failure Clinic at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Jaipur is an important step in bridging this gap. By bringing together a multidisciplinary team and structured evaluation, we can guide patients towards the most appropriate advanced therapies or transplant pathways at the right time. Our collaboration with Fortis Jaipur aims to ensure that patients in Rajasthan have access to expert, comprehensive care closer to home, without delays that can impact survival and quality of life.”
