Bangalore Gastro Centre Sets a New Benchmark in Digestive Healthcare in India
Bangalore Gastro Centre (BGC) Hospitals, Karnataka's NABH-accredited standalone Medical Gastroenterology Institute, has been recognised as South India's Best Hospital for Gastroenterology at the Asia Health Awards 2024. Founded in 2022 by internationally trained & renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Yogananda Reddy, BGC is redefining digestive healthcare in India through patient-first innovations, research collaborations, and community-focused 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 Bangalore Gastro Centre Hospitals is a dedicated super-speciality hospital focused exclusively on digestive health.
