Dr. Nitin Sood — Vice Chairman in Delhi NCR

Dr. Nitin Sood is Vice Chairman at Medanta – The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 28 years of experience. His specialization is recorded as hematology and bone marrow transplant.

His clinical list separates the malignant from the non-malignant. Acute leukemia and haploidentical bone marrow transplant sit on one side, with chemotherapy recorded both for solid tumors and by the cycle. Hemophilia management, sickle cell disease and bone marrow failure syndromes sit on the other. A further entry, living with blood disorders, is about the long-term management of conditions that are lived with rather than cured, and it is an unusual thing for a profile to name.

His qualifications were taken in two countries. He read MBBS at Mysore University in 1998, took his MD in general medicine at Delhi University and completed a DNB in internal medicine in 2002. He then trained in the United Kingdom, where he holds a CCT in haemato oncology, the certificate of completion of training that marks the end of UK specialist training, together with MRCP.

Two of his qualifications are in pathology rather than in clinical medicine: FRCPath and MRCPath in haematology. Pathology is where leukemia is diagnosed and where a transplant is matched, so a hematologist who holds both a clinical and a pathology credential is reading his own results rather than relying on someone else to read them.

He practises at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram.
