Young Man Gets New Lease of Life Post Life-Saving Liver Transplant Surgery at Max Hospital
Mohali, July 12, 2025:- Doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mohali, successfully performed a living donor liver transplant on a 38-year-old man from Amloh in Punjab, who had been suffering from chronic liver disease for over three years. The life-saving procedure was carried out by a team of experts comprising Dr. Kaptan Singh consultant HPB surgery & liver transplant, Dr. Manmohan Singh Bedi director GI, HPB & liver transplant, Dr. Atul Sachdev principal director – gastroenterology and their team.
38-year-old Baljeet Singh, was first diagnosed with chronic liver disease in 2022 after he experienced blood in his vomit, weakness, and dizziness. Despite an early diagnosis, his condition gradually worsened as he continued treatment at local centers and delayed seeking expert care. In April 2025, the patient was brought to Max Hospital, Mohali, with a high-grade fever. Initially managed with medication, later his Liver function deteriorated, eventually requiring a transplant.
Speaking on the transplant, Dr. Kaptan Singh said, "Initially, his sister had stepped forward to donate her liver, but due to a blood group mismatch, we couldn't proceed with her liver. Fortunately, his 35-year-old wife turned out to be a suitable donor. After all the necessary tests, we proceeded with the transplant. Living donor liver transplantation is a feasible and life-saving procedure, especially in patients with end-stage liver disease. The patient's diseased liver was removed, and about 62–65% of the donor's liver was taken up for transplant. The donor now has around 35 percent of the liver that would regenerate fully in 6-8 weeks."
Post-surgery, the patient and the donor both recovered well. By the time of discharge, Baljeet was in good health and ready to return to a normal life.
This successful transplant marks a major milestone for Max Hospital, Mohali. The hospital aims to bring advanced quality healthcare services closer to the people of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and the Tricity region. With this achievement, Max Hospital, Mohali, is now fully equipped to provide advanced liver transplant services locally, eliminating the need for patients to travel to metro cities for such critical cases.

Ujala Cygnus Appoints Nitin Nag as Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer
By 121 News
Chandigarh, July 11, 2025:- Ujala Cygnus,a leading healthcare chain in Northern India, has appointed Mr. Nitin Nag as its new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. His leadership will be key to guiding Ujala Cygnus through its next phase of network expansion and delivering on its strategic priority of providing comprehensive clinical care in the markets it serves.
Ujala Cygnus, post partnership with Amandeep Hospitals is now a network of 26 hospitals with nearly 2,800 beds serving Tier-II and Tier-III cities across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, J&K, Uttarakhand and Haryana. It is dedicated to delivering high quality care to underserved communities and expanding access across North India.
The healthcare ecosystem in India's Tier-II and Tier-III markets present persistent challenges. These regions are predominantly served by government hospitals and small to mid-sized nursing homes run by individual practitioners. While these facilities perform well in delivering primary care, they often lack a multi-specialty approach, resulting in a substantial migration of patients to urban centers for advanced treatment. Ujala Cygnus — supported by General Atlantic and the Amar Ujala Group — is bridging this gap by positioning itself as a trusted provider of comprehensive, affordable healthcare. Leveraging a differentiated, asset-light model, Ujala Cygnus forges long-term partnerships with hospitals to extend its network and enhance accessibility across underserved regions. This approach not only scales impact efficiently but also addresses the pressing need for specialized care in non-metro markets by equipping doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in these markets with the tools and infrastructure to deliver world-class care.
A seasoned leader, Nitin brings close to three decades of experience across healthcare and IT sectors, with a professional footprint spanning India, UK, USA, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Malaysia. Over the past decade, Nitin has been at the forefront of transforming Cloudnine - a pan-India hospital chain, driving operational excellence, enabling clinical innovation, and delivering patient-centric growth. Most recently, as Chief Operating Officer at Cloudnine Hospitals, Nitin led the chain's national expansion, introduced new service lines, and revitalized underperforming facilities — thereby delivering tangible improvements in both performance and patient outcomes.
His earlier role as COO of Manipal Ankur, the joint venture between Ankur and Manipal Hospitals, saw him establish the brand as a leader in fertility care. Nitin's foundational years at Tech Mahindra and MphasiS helped shape his strategic acumen in business operations, M&A, and client success, which he now brings to the healthcare space with great impact. An alumnus of the Advanced Management Program at IIM Bangalore, Nitin also holds a PGDBA in Marketing from SCDL, Pune, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering from RVCE, Bangalore.
Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, Founder Director, Ujala Cygnus, said that we are thrilled to welcome Nitin to Ujala Cygnus at this defining moment in our journey. His experience in scaling healthcare delivery, combined with his deep operational acumen, will be pivotal in advancing our mission — to deliver high-quality, affordable care where it's needed the most. With Nitin's leadership, we are confident of building a stronger, more agile platform that empowers doctors in Tier-II and Tier-III cities to deliver world-class clinical outcomes close to home.
Nitin Nag, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ujala Cygnus, said that joining Ujala Cygnus is more than just a leadership opportunity — it's a chance to be part of a mission that brings high-quality healthcare to communities that need it most. He added that what excites him deeply is how we are not only transforming healthcare access for patients, but also empowering a new generation of doctors — especially those in Tier-II and Tier-III cities — with the infrastructure, clinical systems, and support they need to practice world-class medicine. Together, we are creating a platform where passionate clinicians can truly thrive and make a lasting impact.
