Bengaluru, July 31, 2025: Aster RV Hospital, in association with the Integrated Liver Care (ILC) team, has launched a transformative Support Group System—a collaborative initiative designed to provide a safe and supportive space for both pre- and post-transplant patients, as well as their families and a new session with the Physio experts.
The program, to be held once every three months, aims to create a platform for open dialogue, shared experiences, and expert medical insights. The inaugural session was successfully conducted last Saturday and witnessed the participation of over 50 families. This strong turnout underlines the growing need for holistic, community-based care alongside medical treatment, for end-stage liver disease patients.
Commenting on the initiative, Dr. Naveen Ganjoo – Senior Consultant – ILC said, “At Aster Hospitals, our focus extends beyond clinical excellence to holistic patient care and emotional well-being. The launch of the transplant support group at Aster RV Hospital marks a meaningful step in creating a safe space for patients and caregivers to connect, share, and heal together. Initiatives like these reflect our continued commitment to compassionate care and supporting patients throughout every stage of their recovery journey.”
The Support Group System is structured to include interactive discussions, personal stories, Q&A sessions with the ILC team of doctors, and peer encouragement. It is designed to address not only medical concerns but also the emotional and psychological challenges that transplant patients and their caregivers often face.
This commendable initiative underscores Aster RV and the ILC Team’s unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive care—focusing not just on treatment, but also on building a community of understanding, empathy, and resilience for transplant patients. When one has to care for an ailing family member, Aster RV Hospital ensures that it supports not only the patient, but also the family caring to them.
