Bangalore Gastro Centre Sets New Benchmark in Digestive Healthcare with Global-Standard Care
Leading the Way in Specialised Digestive Care
With digestive disorders on the rise due to lifestyle changes, BGC has emerged as a Centre of Excellence offering specialised care through its Medical, Surgical, and Paediatric Gastroenterology departments. The facility is equipped with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, including:
● Endoscopy suites for EUS, ERCP, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy
● Sub-speciality clinics for IBD, hepatology, neuro-gastroenterology and paediatric gastroenterology
'We've built BGC on the principle of combining global standards with compassionate, accessible gastroenterology care,' said Dr. Yogananda Reddy, Chief Gastroenterologist and Director. 'Our patient-first approach is what sets us apart—from protocol-driven treatments to ensuring patients feel heard and respected.'
Extended Access Through 7-Day Specialist OPD Services
One of BGC's most impactful initiatives is the launch of 7-day OPD services, including Sundays—offering direct access to super-specialist gastroenterologists. This move addresses the needs of working professionals who often delay treatment due to weekday commitments, enabling timely diagnosis and intervention.
Free Rural Outreach Programme Across Karnataka
Demonstrating its commitment to equitable healthcare, BGC has also rolled out a self-funded Free Rural Outreach Digestive Health Programme, bringing superspecialist care to underserved areas. This outreach initiative not only delivers the much needed Gastrointestinal care but also raises awareness on preventive digestive health.
Driving Research in Gut Health with South Korea's 3BIGS
In a step toward personalised medicine, BGC has signed an MoU with South Korean biodata firm 3BIGS for joint research on the gut microbiome, using AI-driven analytics. This project aims to decode the complex role of gut microbes in Indian patients and create predictive, personalised treatment strategies for conditions like IBS and inflammatory disorders.
'The future of gastroenterology lies in proactive, data-led care. Our collaboration with 3BIGS will help us lead that change in India,' added Dr. Reddy.
Surgical Gastroenterology Care & Oncology Expansion
A new dedicated Surgical Gastroenterology & Oncology block, started recently has expanded the centre's cancer treatment capabilities with integrated diagnostics, 24/7 surgical gastroenterology care, and recovery pathways.
Recognition and Awards
Under Dr. Reddy's leadership—who previously served as a consultant gastroenterologist in the UK's NHS—BGC has quickly gained national recognition. The centre was named:
● Single Speciality Hospital of the Year (2023–2024) at the India Excellence Awards
● Excellence in Gastroenterology by Times of India (2024)
● Top 3 finalist for Hospital of the Year – Gastroenterology at the Economic Times Health Awards (2024) About Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals

He was a young guy. He told me he went to medical school in India, and that his entire education cost about $800.00 Interesting stuff,' one person posted on X. Several people on social media stated that they would have 'walked out' or denied to allow the doctor to treat them after knowing this information. Some other X users compared his education fee to the high costs associated with medical school in America, claiming that his degree was 'fake' and his training was inadequate. Post on India doctor sparks racists comments The post has generated a flurry of unsubstantiated claims and blatant biases, with many Americans calling on the original poster to 'run' from treatment. Many users in the comment section expressed strong racist views, arguing that having such a practitioner was 'unfair to US people, patients, and doctors.' 'That how much certificates cost over there? Crazy,' one user asked, while another wrote: 'They go straight from high school into 'medical school'. The crime is that American law allows these poorly trained frauds to practice here in the states.' 'Went to an Indian dentist. Drilled my tooth, said, 'Oops, I shouldn't have done that', then threw her arms up in the air and walked out, leaving me alone with the hygienist, who had to clean up her mess,' a third user said.

They clarified that higher education in India is of excellent quality and is supported by the government, stressing that admission to these universities is extremely competitive due to the limited number of seats and the large number of applicants.

Bengaluru firm in talks with A.P. govt. to launch helicopter emergency medical services in State
International Critical Care Air Transfer Team (ICATT), a Bengaluru-based air ambulance services company, initiated discussions with the Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) for launching its integrated helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) to fast-track trauma care services in the State. It conducted aero-medical drills in several Indian cities and is collaborating with the GoAP and leading tertiary hospitals to showcase HEMS, according to an official release. ICATT deploys flying ICUs — helicopters and aircraft equipped with advanced ICU infrastructure, surgical tools, and a trained aero-medical team. These airborne units are capable of delivering critical care at the site of trauma, particularly along highways, rural belts, and semi-urban areas, within the crucial golden hour, significantly improving the chances of survival for accident victims. Under HEMS, trauma victims and critically ill patients will be airlifted free of cost, ensuring timely access to lifesaving care. ICATT's air ambulance service, which is an India-specific adaptation of the U.K.'s HEMS model, has been successfully operating the government-funded PM Shri Air Ambulance Seva in Madhya Pradesh (M.P.). ICATT planned to replicate that model in other States by bringing together key departments including Fire Services, Police, and first-responder ambulance units to form a seamless emergency medical network. Prior to the M.P. contract, ICATT conducted aero-medical rescue operations in the deep jungles of the southern parts of Chhattisgarh and saved the lives of CRPF jawans who were fighting the Naxalites. ICATT founding directors Rahul Singh Sardar and Shalini Nalwad stated that HEMS represents a significant disruption in the emergency care landscape. In countries like the U.S.A., U.K., and across Europe, air ambulance teams were a standard part of trauma care. ICATT would bring to India the same global standard of care, where such services were not just desirable but essential. With access to advanced medical facilities still limited in many parts of the country, it (ICATT) believes that the introduction of HEMS would play a crucial role in reducing road accident fatalities and improving emergency response outcomes.
