+91-8860606766 | +91-9910655125About Dr. V. P. Antia [MD, Diploma in Haematology (London)]
Dr. V. P. Antia is Haematologist and Currently Working as Director in the Haematological Medicine Department at Breach Candy Hospital Trust, Bhulabhai Desai Road, Mumbai, India.
He is having more than 20 years of experience in the field of clinical haematology.
He has completed his MD and a Diploma in Haematology from London.
Profile Highlights :
- Dr. Antia trained and worked extensively in the United Kingdom, where a practising haematologist in the National Health Service is in charge of the haematology laboratory and transfusion services, and also sees, admits and treats patients with blood disorders and blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. On joining Breach Candy Hospital he set out to establish a similar integrated set-up.
- With the support of the hospital's Trustees and management, he built the hospital's centre for haematology services, which brings together clinical haematology, a day-care unit, transfusion medicine services, haemato-oncology and an advanced haematology laboratory under one roof. It is described as probably the only clinical haematology service working under the banner of, and supported by, a hospital rather than run privately.
- Dr. Antia was a member of the International Recommendation Panel on the management of fungal infections in haematological malignancy, held in Vienna in 2012, and the resulting guidelines were published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Invasive fungal infections are a serious risk for patients receiving intensive chemotherapy, making such guidance important for safe treatment.
- His department places strong emphasis on ethics, quality and patient convenience, including supplying blood for patients who need repeated transfusions from the hospital's own blood bank.
