Dr Subhash Gupta is the chief of liver transplantation, a hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon, and the chairman of the Max Center of Liver and Biliary Sciences at Max Healthcare, Saket.[1]

Professional career[edit]

Dr. Gupta is accredited all over the world for his leading work in liver transplantation in the Indian subcontinent. [2] He and his team successfully conducted over 2500 liver transplants in 15 years [2], of which 300 were in 2013 [3].

Dr. Gupta joined Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 1998 and set up liver transplantation operations there along with Dr. Shantanu Nundy. The department conducted the first liver transplant in 2001, using a deceased donor liver.[citation needed] Along with Dr. Nundy, he began performing living donor transplantations as the predominant form of liver transplantation. After a slow start, the liver transplantation program took off, with 66 transplants in 2006. [3]

Gupta pioneered the development of living donor liver transplants in India. Previously, patients had to travel abroad at a very high cost to receive this treatment. His surgical techniques have brought costs down to a fraction of what is charged elsewhere, making liver transplants available to patients from India, Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East.

Founder of the Center for Liver and Biliary Sciences[edit]

Dr. Gupta is the owner and president of the Center for Liver and Biliary Sciences. In 2013, the team helped other centers within India and abroad set up liver transplantation, including hospitals in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kazakhstan. Surgical procedures are complemented by an advanced intervention radiology setup that deals with procedures such as channelization, radiofrequency ablation, and percutaneous alcohol injection into tumor tissue.

The unit has treated patients from all over India as well as patients from the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Apart from malignancies, this unit has considerable skills in dealing with the surgical management of all aspects of pancreatitis. Its faculty consists of nationally and internationally known consultants.

Academic career[edit]

Dr. Subhash Gupta completed his undergraduate degree and master's in General surgery from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. In 1989, he specialized in surgical gastroenterology.[4] In 1993, he moved to England to work and train under Dr. Paul McMaster in the liver unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.

In February 1995, he moved to the Department of Organ Transplantation at St James's University Hospital in Leeds, where he later worked as a locum consultant.

During his stay in the UK, Dr. Gupta qualified for Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and of Glasgow. He has published extensively on different aspects of living donor liver transplantation, such as liver transplantation without hepatitis B immunoglobulin prophylaxis and appropriate cytomegalovirus prophylaxis.

He is an Associate Professor in Surgery at the University of Queensland, Australia. The Institute of Postgraduate Education and Medical Research in Kolkata honored him with the position of Professor of Liver Transplantation. He delivered the annual oration at the JIPMER Scientific Society in Puducherry in 2011 and was a recipient of a Gold Medal by the Delhi Medical Association in 2005. He is also on the Board of Management of Mahatma Gandhi Medical College, Mumbai, as a central government nominee.

With the help of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) [7[5] and the Ministry of Health, he led the team to develop standard guidelines for the treatment of liver diseases and liver transplantation in India. This work helped lay down the criteria for the correct management of chronic liver disease and acute liver failure and will help in deciding insurance-related claims.
