Dr. Dinesh Jothimani — Director in Chennai

Dr. Dinesh Jothimani is Director of Hepatology at Rela Hospital in Chennai, with more than 19 years of experience. His profile records gastroenterology and hepatobiliary medicine together with transplant hepatology.

His list is almost entirely hepatological. He manages chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, chronic hepatitis B and C, autoimmune liver diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and also performs ERCP.

He read MBBS at Madras Medical College and Government General Hospital under Dr. MGR Medical University in Chennai in 2000, then took his specialist training in the United Kingdom. He passed the MRCP in 2004 and completed his CCT in hepatology, gastroenterology and general medicine through the West Midlands Deanery between 2004 and 2010, and was elected FRCP of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 2018.

His career is recorded post by post with dates, and it moves through the hospitals of three countries. He was Specialist Registrar in hepatology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham from 2004 to 2005, a hepatology research fellow at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane from 2008 to 2009, and locum Consultant Hepatologist at the University Hospitals of Coventry and Warwickshire from 2010 to 2011. He returned to Chennai as consultant and liver transplant physician at Global Hospitals from 2012 to 2018, and has been Director of Hepatology at Dr. Rela Institute and Medical Centre since 2018.

Every post in that sequence is in hepatology or liver transplant work, so the transplant half of his profile rests on a run of dedicated appointments rather than on a single fellowship.
