In a significant boost to Nigeria’s healthcare landscape, Starcare International Hospital has announced the addition of Dr. J. H. Panchal, an internationally acclaimed and highly experienced general, laparoscopic, and bariatric surgeon, to its esteemed team.

Dr. Panchal’s arrival marks a new era for the hospital, bringing with him over two decades of expertise in cutting-edge surgical procedures and a commitment to advancing patient care.

Panchal, who has garnered global recognition for his pioneering work in advanced laparoscopic surgeries and bariatric and metabolic procedures, has decided to bring his exceptional skills to Nigeria. This strategic move underscores Starcare International Hospital’s mission to provide Nigerians with world-class medical care right at their doorstep.

For years, Nigerians have sought medical treatment abroad, often citing a lack of specialised care and advanced medical technology at home.

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a dedicated team led by the world’s leading surgeons, Starcare is poised to offer a level of surgical precision and care that rivals any international facility.

Panchal’s expertise spans a wide range of complex surgeries, including bariatric procedures like Sleeve Gastrectomy and Gastric Bypass, as well as advanced laparoscopic surgeries. His commitment to patient-centered care, combined with Starcare’s cutting-edge medical infrastructure, ensures that Nigerians no longer need to look beyond their borders for top-tier medical treatment.

With Panchal’s addition, Starcare is set to transform the healthcare experience for its patients, providing unparalleled clinical excellence and accessible, affordable care.

Panchal’s extensive experience and his role as a mentor in international surgical programmes make him a valuable asset to Starcare and the entire Nigerian medical community. His presence is expected to elevate the standard of care available in the country and reduce the need for Nigerians to seek treatment abroad.

Located in the heart of Lagos, Starcare International Hospital is committed to delivering advanced surgical expertise paired with compassionate care.
