Amrita Hospital, Faridabad: A Centre of Clinical Excellence

Amrita Hospital is one of India's leading multi-speciality tertiary care hospitals, located in Faridabad, Haryana, just south of New Delhi. Built on the principles of compassionate, research-driven medicine, the hospital is home to some of the country's finest specialists across cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopaedics, and more.

With a strong track record of treating international patients, including a growing number from Africa and the Middle East, Amrita Hospital is widely regarded as a top destination for complex, high-stakes medical care. The participation of its senior faculty in this camp underscores the hospital's commitment to extending world-class healthcare beyond its walls.

Meet the Indian Specialists Who Attended the Camp

Dr. Sushil Azad – Leading Paediatric & Adult Cardiologist from India

Dr. Sushil Azad is a highly regarded Paediatric and Adult Cardiologist at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of heart conditions — from congenital heart defects in children to complex adult cardiac diseases.

During the camp, Dr. Azad conducted detailed consultations for patients presenting with conditions such as chest pain, breathlessness, arrhythmias, hypertension, and structural heart abnormalities. Patients who had previously been unable to access quality cardiology care in Ethiopia finally had the chance to receive specialist-level evaluation, ECG review, and a personalised management plan, all in one sitting.

For many families, this was the first time their child or elderly parent had been seen by an experienced cardiologist, making the consultation truly life-changing.

Dr. Vidit Kapoor – Experienced Cancer Specialist from India 

Dr. Vidit Kapoor is a highly accomplished Medical Oncologist at Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, known for his patient-centric approach and expertise in managing a range of cancers. At the oncology camp in Ethiopia, Dr. Kapoor met patients battling various forms of cancer, many of whom had limited access to specialist oncology care locally.

His consultations covered diagnosis review, treatment planning, second opinions on existing cancer management, and guidance on the next steps, whether that meant chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or travel to India for advanced treatment. For patients and their families navigating the fear and uncertainty of a cancer diagnosis, Dr. Kapoor's calm, evidence-based guidance offered much-needed clarity.

Why Was the Cardiology and Oncology Camp in Ethiopia Important for Patients?

Access to specialist medical care remains a significant challenge across much of Sub-Saharan Africa. Patients with serious cardiac conditions or cancer diagnoses in Ethiopia often face long waiting times, limited local specialist availability, and the high cost and complexity of seeking treatment abroad.

By bringing Indian doctors to Ethiopia, Vaidam Health, in partnership with Amrita Hospital, addressed this gap directly. The camp offered:

• In-person specialist consultations — no telemedicine, no intermediaries
• Cardiology and oncology expertise under one roof, on the same day
• Personalised treatment roadmaps for patients considering further care in India
• Trusted guidance from Amrita Hospital doctors, eliminating uncertainty in the referral process

In short, this camp was not just a medical event,  it was a bridge between Ethiopian patients and some of India's finest clinicians.
