Rela Hosp opens unit in Nellore

Nellore: Rela Hospital, a leading multispecialty and quaternary healthcare centre in Chennai, has opened Rela Medical Centre here to provide expert consultations and other world-class healthcare services for the people in the city at its neighboring districts. Prof CMK Reddy, General and Vascular Surgeon and President, Tamil Nadu Medical Practitioners Association inaugurated the hospital on Sunday in the presence of Prof Mohamed Rela, Chairman and Managing Director, Rela Hospital.

Eight year-old Gyana Sai from Chittoor district, who overcame a life-threatening liver disease in infancy attended as an invited guest. Gyana Sai received a life-saving liver transplant at Rela Hospital in 2016, performed by Prof Mohamed Rela when she was just nine months old. Her parents, initially losing hope, had even appealed to the court for the mercy killing of their baby. However, then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N Chandrababu Naidu intervened and referred the case to Prof Rela. Now, eight years post-transplant, Gyana Sai was present at the medical centre’s launch. The event also saw the attendance of three adult patients who had been treated by Prof Rela. The new facility, a clinic setup, is located at Gandhi Nagar, Pogathota, Nellore. It will offer consultations in various specialities.
