Dr. Balbir Singh — Senior Consultant in Hyderabad

Dr. Balbir Singh is a Senior Consultant at Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad, in Hyderabad, with more than 28 years of experience. His profile records surgical gastroenterology as his specialty.

Transplantation leads his list. He performs liver transplant and pediatric liver transplant, and alongside them liver tumor surgery, pancreatectomy, the Whipple procedure and anti-reflux surgery.

His two university degrees were taken at Agra University, MBBS in 1985 and an MS in general surgery in 1990. Three fellowships follow: he is a Fellow of the Association of Surgeons of India, of the International College of Surgeons and of the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endosurgeons. His transplant training was taken abroad, on a fellowship in liver transplantation at the Asan Medical Centre in Seoul, South Korea, between April and May 2009.

His hospital history spans three countries and matches the range of that training. In India he has been associated with Yashoda Hospitals in Secunderabad and Global Hospitals at Lakdikapul in Hyderabad. In the United Kingdom he worked at University College London Hospitals and at North Middlesex University Hospital, both in London, and in South Korea at the Asan Medical Centre where he took his 2009 fellowship.

That record of a long general and gastrointestinal surgical career, an endosurgery fellowship and a dedicated transplant attachment is what stands behind an operating list that runs from anti-reflux surgery through major pancreatic resection to adult and paediatric liver transplantation.
