Dr. Arvinder Singh Soin is the Chairman of Hepatobiliary and Liver Transplant Surgery at Medanta Hospital Gurugram, Haryana.
Dr A S Soin has been awarded Padma Shri by the President of India in 2010 for pioneering the development of Liver Transplantation in India.
Dr. AS Soin leads India’s largest and one of the world’s most successful liver transplant programs at Medanta,
Dr A S Soin is recognized all over the world over for his pioneering work in establishing liver transplantation in India. From 2001 to mid-2010,
Dr. A. S. Soin has performed more than 3000 liver transplants in India.
He established a big liver transplant centre at Sir Gangaram Hospital. However, in June 2010, he moved with his entire team to Medanta-The Medicity, Gurgaon (Delhi-NCR).
Medanta at the current bed strength of 925 (and soon to be 1500) is one of the largest and the most modern tertiary care hospitals in the country
Dr. Soin has established a 150-bedded (including 36 Liver ICU beds) dedicated Liver Treatment facility, carrying out 250 liver transplants and hundreds of complex liver and biliary tract surgeries every year.
Dr Soin has performed more than 2500 living donor liver transplants in India, which is the highest in the country, and the second highest in the world.
He and his team currently perform 22-25 live donor liver transplants every month with 95% success – results which are at par with the world’s best centres. Apart from referrals from all over the country, he handles cases from the rest of South Asia, The Middle East and Africa.
Besides running their own highly successful programme, he and his team are also responsible for training most of the remaining liver transplant teams in India and neighbouring countries that have recently started performing this procedure.
In disseminating expertise countrywide and beyond, building confidence in the procedure among patients and their referring physicians, and in moving it from experimental status to a highly successful life-saving procedure, he has in the true sense, pioneered the development of this speciality in India and the subcontinent in the last 15 years.
In his extensive experience of 38 years as a Liver Transplant Surgeon and Hepatobiliary surgeon, he has performed more than 2500 liver transplants and more than 12000 other complex liver, gall bladder and bile duct surgeries.
Dr Soin serves on the committees of all the important National and International Societies, as well as the National Advisory Board in Liver Transplantation. He is a regular Faculty member and speaker (often the only one from India) at most world fora in Liver Transplantation such as ILTS, AASLD, APDW, IHPBA, IASGO, APASL, Asian Living Donor Liver Transplant Group, Asia Pacific Organ Transplant Forum etc.
