About Dr. S. Babu Kumar

Professional summary

Dr. S. Babu Kumar is a Senior Consultant at Gleneagles HealthCity in Chennai, with more than 19 years of experience. His profile records gastroenterology and hepatobiliary medicine alongside medical gastroenterology and interventional endoscopy.

His list carries both of those last two headings. On the interventional side he performs ERCP and treats biliary strictures and bile duct stones. Medically he manages chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis B, chronic pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, severe functional GI disorders and severe gastroesophageal reflux disease.

His training is dated and moves between two cities. He read MBBS at Coimbatore Medical College in 2000 and took his MD in general medicine at the same college in 2005, then his DM in gastroenterology at Kilpauk Medical College in Chennai in 2011.

Between the MD and the DM he ranked 1st in Tamil Nadu in the DM entrance examinations of 2008, which is the most specific achievement in his record.

His academic work is recorded in three forms. He has presented various topics in scientific forums, authored numerous original articles and case reports in peer-reviewed journals, and guided Ph.D. students as an expert advisor for their theses. The last of those is a supervisory role rather than a publishing one, and it is uncommon on a consultant gastroenterologist's record.

He practises at Gleneagles Global Hospital in Chennai.

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
