Achievements

Everything on this page is a fact with a source behind it: who conferred it, on whom, in which year, and where you can check it for yourself. Nothing is listed on the strength of an adjective. Where a section has nothing confirmed in it yet, it says so rather than being filled.

Awards

An award is something an institution granted to a named person in a stated year, and only what fits that description is listed here. Each entry links to the surgeon who received it, and to the body that conferred it where that body has been verified.

Sections still waiting on the practice

These three categories belong on this page and are not filled in. Each shows the slot it is waiting on rather than a sentence written to cover the gap — an accreditation nobody has issued and a milestone nobody has dated are not facts, and this is a cancer practice's website.

  • AccreditationsThe hospitals we consult at are accredited: N M Virani Wockhardt Hospital, Rajkot holds NABH accreditation and an NABL accredited laboratory. That accreditation belongs to the host hospital, not to this practice.
    Waiting on

    The body that issued it, what it covers, and the year it was granted. No accreditation is named on this site until all three are in hand.

Every entry above names the institution that conferred it, so it can be checked at the source rather than taken on trust.

Want to check any of this?

The names and the years are here so you can. If you would rather ask us directly, book a consultation — and if it cannot wait, call the emergency number.
