A hospital in Mohali has launched an advanced robotic kidney transplant facility on Sunday.

While addressing a press conference, Dr Priyadarshi Ranjan, director of Robotic Urology and Renal Transplant at Park Hospital, said that besides robotic transplants, the hospital is equipped to perform all type of living donor transplants, including high-risk, paediatric swap cases, ABO-incompatible (non-blood group specific) and redo transplants.

The prevalence of chronic kidney failure has almost doubled over the past decade due to increasing rates of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, stress, and unhealthy eating habits, said Dr Mukesh Goyal, director of nephrology.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
