In a major stride toward expanding access to complex, high-tier medical care under one roof, Dr. D.Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Pimpri, Pune, has inaugurated three cutting-edge clinical facilities:

• ‘Yashraj Prasad Patil’ Multi-Organ Transplant Centre of Excellence
• ‘Bhagyashree’ Aai & Gokul, Mother & Child Centre
• Advanced IVF & Endoscopy Center

The official launch took place in the presence of Hon. Smt. Sunetratai Ajit Pawar, Deputy Chief Minister, Government of Maharashtra and Guardian Minister, Pune, and Hon. Shri Prakash Abitkar, Minister of Public Health and Family Welfare, Government of Maharashtra.

The occasion was graced by the leadership of Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, including Chancellor Hon. Dr. P. D. Patil, Pro-Chancellor Hon. Dr. (Mrs.) Bhagyashree P. Patil, Trustee and Treasurer Hon. Dr. Yashraj P. Patil, and Dean Dr. A. Rekha, alongside distinguished faculty and clinical heads.

1. ‘Yashraj Prasad Patil’ Multi-Organ Transplant Centre of Excellence

Organ transplantation requires clinical skill, precision surgical suites, and stringent postoperative infection safeguards. Building on an established track record of over 550 successful transplants across heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, and cornea, this new Centre of Excellence raises the bar for transplant medicine in Western Maharashtra.

• Dedicated Protective Infrastructure: Designed with cleanroom medical standards, featuring specialised clinical units with purpose-built air-handling systems (HVAC/HEPA) to protect immunosuppressed post-transplant patients.
• Cardiopulmonary Leadership: DPU has executed more than 50 complex heart and lung transplants over the past three years. The centre provides multidisciplinary care for end-stage cardiac failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and acute cardiopulmonary deterioration.
• Academic & Clinical Training: Beyond clinical procedures, the facility serves as a hands-on training ground for medical postgraduates and surgical fellows to master internationally aligned transplant protocols.

2. ‘Bhagyashree’ Aai & Gokul, Mother & Child Centre

Maternal and neonatal care demands a sensitive, continuous continuum of service—from prenatal evaluation and high-risk deliveries to specialised neonatal intensive care.

• Comprehensive Pediatric & Neonatal Scale: Features the 350-bed Aai and Gokul Paediatric Hospital supported by an advanced 51-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
• Nutritional & Human Milk Banking: Houses the Yashoda Milk Bank, providing pasteurised donor milk to support premature infants and medically vulnerable newborns.
• Accessible Care for All: Upholding a strong social commitment, the centre provides critical interventions, including subsidised and free C-sections and NICU stays, actively integrating government healthcare schemes like PM-JAY and MJPJAY to ensure financial hurdles do not stand between a child and life-saving care.

3. Dedicated IVF & Endoscopy Center

Modern reproductive medicine requires delicate laboratory precision, while minimally invasive surgery reduces patient recovery times.

• Advanced Reproductive Technologies: The newly unveiled IVF facility provides personalised assisted reproductive care, fertility workups, and embryology lab support.
• Minimally Invasive Endoscopy: Offers diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures supported by high-definition imaging, ensuring accurate interventions with minimal tissue disruption and shorter hospital stays.
