Dr. Satya Prakash Yadav — Senior Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Satya Prakash Yadav is a Senior Director at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 32 years of experience. His listed specialization is hematology and BMT, and his qualifications are MBBS, DCH and DNB.

His procedure list is the most detailed part of his record, and it is built around who the donor is. Matched sibling donor transplant, matched unrelated donor transplant and haploidentical bone marrow transplant are three different answers to the same problem, and the third one matters most in India, because it allows a half-matched parent to donate when no full match exists. Around those sit acute leukemia, bone marrow failure syndromes, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, aplastic anemia and hemophilia management.

He read MBBS, took a diploma in child health and DNB in paediatrics, then a fellowship in paediatric haematology-oncology at The Children's Hospital at Westmead in Australia. His record notes that he has trained nearly 30 fellows in the subspecialty himself.

His recognition runs across three decades. He won the Dr. C.N. Bhatia Award as best senior resident in paediatrics in 2002, was a Hemophilia Academy Fellow in Edinburgh in 2009, and held an ANZCSOG scholarship to present at the SIOP meeting in Brisbane in 2010. Since 2012 he has edited Clinicopedia and done editorial work for Cure4kids at St. Jude's Hospital in the USA. In 2020 he became associate editor of the Paediatric Hematology-Oncology Journal and national co-coordinator of the National Training Program in Practical Paediatric Haematology.
