Best Liver Specialist Punjab — Dr Raman Garg

Punjab's Best Liver Specialist — Dr. Raman Garg at Bathinda

Liver disease is one of the most serious health challenges facing Punjab's population. High rates of Hepatitis B and C, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver (NAFLD), and liver cancer make access to a top-tier liver specialist critically important. Dr. Raman Garg at Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute, Bathinda is Punjab's most experienced liver specialist — combining hepatology (medical liver care) with hepatobiliary surgery (surgical liver care) under one roof.

As a Surgical Gastroenterologist with MCh qualification, Dr. Garg bridges the gap between gastroenterologists (who treat liver disease medically) and hepatobiliary surgeons (who operate on the liver). This unique combination makes him the most comprehensive liver doctor available in South Punjab.

Punjab's Liver Health — Statistics & Warning Signs

According to estimates, liver disease affects a disproportionately high number of Punjab residents:

  • ~4 crore Indians are Hepatitis B carriers — Punjab has higher-than-average prevalence
  • Hepatitis C is endemic in several parts of Punjab — particularly in older generations who received blood transfusions or IV injections with unsterilised equipment
  • Alcohol use disorder is a significant problem in Punjab — alcoholic liver disease affects many families
  • NAFLD (fatty liver) is present in 30–40% of urban Punjab adults

Get your liver tested: If you have any unexplained fatigue, jaundice, right-sided abdominal discomfort, or risk factors (alcohol use, previous blood transfusion, family history), get a liver check-up done today. Early detection saves lives and prevents cirrhosis.
