About Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra

Dr. Rakesh Rai Sapra is Program Clinical Director of Cardiology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, and a distinguished interventional cardiologist with over 27 years of clinical experience. Trained at India's premier medical institutions—PGIMER Chandigarh and AIIMS New Delhi—he holds an MBBS from Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, and advanced qualifications in both internal medicine and cardiology. His credentials are underpinned by specialized training in electrophysiology and radiofrequency ablation at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York, and Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston.

Dr. Sapra's clinical depth is exceptional. He has independently performed over 15,000 vascular interventions, establishing himself as one of the region's most accomplished interventional cardiologists. His expertise encompasses the full spectrum of modern cardiac care: coronary angioplasty and stenting, diagnostic cardiac catheterization, complex ablation procedures for arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, and management of valvular heart disease. He is particularly skilled in electrophysiology, regularly performing radiofrequency ablations using advanced electromagnetic CARTO mapping for complex arrhythmia cases.

Dr. Sapra has earned a strong reputation for patient-centered care and consistently treats a diverse international patient population from the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, Africa, and South Asia. His proficiency in English and Hindi facilitates clear communication with patients across borders, and his pragmatic approach to complex cases makes him a trusted choice for families seeking cardiac expertise abroad. At Marengo Asia Hospitals, he leads a comprehensive cardiology program equipped to manage both routine and life-threatening conditions.

Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, is a multi-specialty tertiary care center with modern interventional infrastructure, advanced ICU facilities, and a dedicated international patient services team. The hospital's location in Faridabad—part of the National Capital Region—offers excellent accessibility for patients traveling from the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.
