Brief Profile

Dr Vikas Jain is regarded as one of the Top Urologist & Kidney Surgeon in Delhi NCR. He has completed his super specialization in Urology & Renal transplantation in 2009 from prestigious Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital, Nadiad (Gujarat). He further received training in deceased donor renal transplant at Fundacio Puigvert, Barcelona (Spain). Since then, for the past 12 years, he has been practising in Delhi. Initially, for two years he worked at Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj and then went on to join the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, Delhi. Primarily, known for liver diseases, he was approached to start kidney transplantation, so he single-handedly, with the support of his nephrology colleague Dr Suman Lata, established the Department of Urology and Kidney Transplantation, which is still the only Delhi government hospital to have such a department. Both of them dedicated their expertise for 6 years to see the department on firm footing.

As they were looking for an opportunity to come into private sector, they joined the affordable Narayana Health. The group, led by visionary cardiac surgeon Dr Devi Shetty, took over Dharamshila Cancer Hospital, which now functions as a multi-super-speciality hospital. In addition, another Narayana Super-speciality Hospital was set up in Gurugram. Dr Vikas Jain was given the opportunity to drive the renal transplant programme at both the centres as Director and Senior Consultant and both these centres presently have successfully running programmes.

After working for close to 5 years with Narayana Health; Dr Vikas Jain recently joined Fortis Healthcare. Fortis Healthcare is one of the largest healthcare providers in India. He recently joined their hospitals @ Shalimar Bagh and Vasant Kunj.  In this role, he will be involved in the development of the specialty at both these flagship hospitals of Fortis group.

Recently as a kidney surgeon in Delhi, Dr Vikas Jain completed 1100 successful kidney transplants in his journey of 12 years. In addition, he has done innumerable urologic surgeries; initiated and mentored transplant programmes in almost 26 hospitals in 8 different states. Training and teaching have always been a passion and he has trained many colleagues in complex urological surgeries, laparoscopy, and kidney transplant.
