Doctor Randhir Sud – Gastroenterologist

Ask anyone in India’s gastroenterology circles about who shaped the field of therapeutic endoscopy here, and Doctor Randhir Sud’s name will come up quick. He’s been practicing for over 42 years now, currently based at Medanta Hospital in Gurugram, and along the way he’s picked up a Padma Shri for his contribution to medicine — not a small thing.

What really stands out about Doctor Randhir Sud is how he brought advanced endoscopic therapy into mainstream practice in India. He didn’t just perform procedures, he trained a whole generation of doctors through live workshops and hands-on training programs. His work covers liver disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, along with skilled expertise in ERCP and EUS procedures — techniques that a lot of gastroenterologists still consider highly specialized even today.

He’s also a gold medalist and holds the title of “Master in Endoscopy,” awarded by the Indian Society of Gastroenterology. On top of that, he received the Bharat Ratna Priyadarshini award back in 2003. Beyond the clinical side, he’s continued researching new endoscopic devices and techniques, staying involved in advancing the field rather than just practicing within it.
