Cancer is the most detrimental disease not only for the physical and mental health of a patient but also affects all those who care emotionally, financially, and empathetically for the patient, including the family, friends, and close ones. That is why, more than advanced technologies and medically enhanced healthcare treatments, patients going through the nightmarish ordeal need a compassionate and caring oncological expert who is eminent in all cancer treatments.

Please brief us about your journey in the oncology segment and how you made the clinic what it is today.

Founded in 2013, our MACS Clinic emerged with a clear vision to deliver exceptional cancer treatment. Recognizing the need for specialized centres dedicated to minimal access to cancer surgery, we established MACS Clinic as a pioneering institution.

The name itself, MACS (Minimal Access Cancer Surgery), reflects the clinic’s core focus on utilizing minimally invasive techniques to optimize patient outcomes. Since its inception, MACS Clinic has been at the forefront of providing the best possible care for cancer patients, filling a crucial gap in the healthcare landscape.

As an experienced leader, share your opinion on how adopting modern technologies like AI, ML, Cloud, and Blockchain impacts modern healthcare and how your clinic/hospital is contributing to the change.

As an experienced leader in the healthcare industry, I acknowledge the profound impact of modern technologies like AI, ML, Cloud, and Blockchain on healthcare. These advancements are revolutionizing various aspects of healthcare delivery, from diagnostics to treatment and data management.

Our clinic actively embraces these technologies, leveraging AI and ML for accurate image analysis and diagnosis, exploring AI-assisted robotic surgery, adopting secure cloud infrastructure for seamless data management, and considering the potential of Blockchain for enhanced data security and interoperability.

Through these contributions, we aim to provide advanced and patient-centric care, improving outcomes and enhancing the healthcare experience.

Considering the current medical scenario, what challenges do you face, and how do you drive your MACS Clinic to overcome them?

In the current medical scenario, MACS Clinic faces the challenge of cost barriers that can hinder access to quality healthcare for many patients. To overcome this challenge, we have partnered with the NGO Samrohana, which provides financial support to needy patients, ensuring that cost is not a hindrance to receiving necessary medical care.

Another key challenge is the constant need for doctors to upgrade their skills and stay updated with advancements in the field. As dedicated leaders, we actively address this challenge by extensively travelling to train other surgeons, sharing our expertise and knowledge to enable them to provide the highest standard of care.

Moreover, we strongly emphasise early detection initiatives, collaborating closely with Samrohana NGO, which aligns with their commitment to improving healthcare outcomes through timely intervention. By actively participating in skill development programs, partnering with NGOs, and prioritizing early detection, we strive to overcome challenges and ensure accessible, high-quality healthcare for all patients.
