About Dr. Rana Patir

Dr. Rana Patir is one of India's most respected neurosurgeons, with over 33 years of experience in treating complex conditions of the brain and nervous system. He serves as Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram — a leading multi-specialty hospital that draws patients from across India and the world. His clinical work spans brain tumor surgery, skull base procedures, neurovascular surgery, epilepsy surgery, and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, making him a trusted name for some of the most challenging cases in the field.

Dr. Patir's training reflects a lifelong commitment to excellence. He holds an MS in General Surgery and an MCh in Neurosurgery, and further sharpened his skills through a Fellowship in Neurosurgery completed in Newcastle, United Kingdom. This combination of rigorous Indian academic training and international exposure gave him a broad, well-rounded foundation that has guided his practice ever since. Before joining Fortis, he served as Associate Professor and teaching faculty at AIIMS New Delhi and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, and as Professor of Neurosurgery at Guwahati Medical College — institutions where he shaped the next generation of neurosurgeons.

Patients and families often speak of the calm, clear way Dr. Patir explains a diagnosis and walks them through their options. Faced with a frightening brain condition, people need more than a skilled surgeon — they need someone who takes the time to listen and help them understand. That is the kind of care Dr. Patir is known for delivering, alongside his surgical precision.

For international patients seeking advanced neurosurgical care in India, Dr. Patir represents a compelling choice. His decades of experience, world-class training, and position at a hospital equipped with modern neuroimaging and surgical technology mean that patients traveling from abroad receive care that compares favorably with the best centers globally. Gaf Healthcare coordinates every step of the journey — from initial consultation to post-treatment follow-up — so families can focus entirely on recovery.
