Dr. Vimal Kumar G — Consultant Paediatric Haematologist and Oncologist in Chennai

Dr. Vimal Kumar G is a Consultant Paediatric Haematologist and Oncologist at MGM Healthcare in Chennai, with more than 20 years of experience. His record lists three overlapping fields, pediatric hematology, hematology and medical oncology, and his qualifications are MBBS, MD, FNB and MRCPCH.

The five procedures on his list describe a complete children's blood and cancer service. Pediatric leukemia is the commonest cancer of childhood. Thalassemia, sickle cell disease and aplastic anemia are the disorders in which the marrow makes the wrong blood or too little of it. Pediatric bone marrow transplant is the procedure that can resolve any of the four, and having it in the same hands as the medical treatment means the decision to transplant is made inside one team.

He read MBBS at Madras Medical College in Chennai in 2006 and took MD in paediatrics at SMS Medical College in Jaipur in 2010. His subspecialty qualification, FNB in pediatric hematology and oncology, came from the National Board of Examinations in New Delhi in 2014, and in 2019 he became a member of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in London.

He practises at MGM Healthcare. His memberships cover the four bodies that matter in this field: RCPCH in the UK, SIOP for international paediatric oncology, and both transplant registries, EBMT in Europe and ISBMT in India. He also belongs to the paediatric haematology and oncology subchapter of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics.
