About Dr. Manav Wadhawan

Dr. Manav Wadhawan is Vice Chairman of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, one of India's foremost gastrointestinal and liver specialists. With over 18 years of distinguished clinical experience, he has established himself as a leader in hepatology, particularly recognized for his pioneering work in HBIg-free regimens for HBV-related liver transplants—a significant advancement that has shaped modern transplant hepatology practice.

Dr. Wadhawan's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of digestive and liver diseases, from chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis management to complex therapeutic endoscopy procedures including ERCP and biliary interventions. He has managed hundreds of patients with portal hypertension, refractory ascites, autoimmune liver diseases, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, combining diagnostic precision with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. His background in internal medicine, coupled with specialized DM-level training in gastroenterology, enables him to manage multisystem complications in patients with advanced liver disease.

International patients from the Gulf, Africa, and Southeast Asia seek his care for liver transplant assessment, hepatitis management, and complex endoscopic procedures. Dr. Wadhawan is fluent in English and Hindi, ensuring clear communication and personalised care planning. His clinical approach prioritizes patient education and shared decision-making, particularly important for patients travelling from abroad.
