Dr. Gaurav Dixit — Head of Hematology in Delhi NCR

Dr. Gaurav Dixit is Head of Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant at Artemis Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 20 years of experience. His profile records hematology and BMT together with medical oncology.

His clinical list is short and specific. Bone marrow transplant appears with two donor types named separately, matched unrelated donor and matched sibling donor, and is joined by CAR-T cell therapy, the engineered cell treatment that is the newest option in blood cancer. Acute leukemia and bone marrow failure syndromes are the conditions recorded.

One entry in his record stands apart from the rest. In October 2022 he performed the first bone marrow transplant in Kenya. To set up a first transplant in a country is a different kind of work from performing one in an established unit, since it means building the laboratory, the donor pathway and the isolation facilities before any patient is treated. His profile also records him as an instrumental leader in establishing hemato-oncology programs.

His degrees were taken at PGIMS in Rohtak, where he read MBBS and took his MD in internal medicine, and at Christian Medical College in Vellore, where he completed his DM in clinical hematology. In January 2022 he added a professional certification in multiple myeloma from the Mayo Clinic in the USA.

He practises at Artemis Hospitals in Gurugram.
