Dr. Viruvanti Dinesh — Consultant Pediatric Hematologist and Oncologist in Hyderabad

Dr. Viruvanti Dinesh is a Consultant Pediatric Hematologist and Oncologist at Yashoda Hospitals in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, with more than 12 years of experience. He is listed in pediatric hematology and medical oncology.

His procedures are pediatric leukemia, pediatric bone marrow transplant, aplastic anemia treatment, sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Leukemia leads the list because it is the commonest cancer of childhood, and the three that follow are the conditions in which a child's marrow either fails or produces defective red cells. Transplant sits between them as the treatment that can resolve either problem at its source.

His qualifications are MBBS, MD and FNB, and his training has been recent and sequential. He read MBBS at SDM College of Medical Sciences & Hospital in Dharwad, Karnataka in 2014, took MD in pediatrics at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi in 2018, and completed his FNB in pediatric hematology-oncology at Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Hyderabad in 2024. A fellowship taken at a dedicated cancer institute rather than a general hospital means his subspecialty years were spent entirely on oncology volume.

He practises at Yashoda Hospitals in Secunderabad and belongs to the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and its paediatric haematology and oncology chapter, the Indian Medical Association, and SIOP. In 2023 he took second prize in the national-level pediatric hematology-oncology quiz at PHOCON in Chennai.
