A city-based doctor was recently honoured at the International Symposium of Diabetes held in Mumbai. The Indian Academy of Diabetes awarded Dr Nishant Kumar with the Indian Academy of Diabetes — Sanofi, Rising Star Award for 2015 on January 11.

Kumar is a vitreo-retinal surgeon, who returned to Mumbai in late 2014 after having trained and lived in the UK for the past 14 years. He now works as a consultant ophthalmologist with expertise in uveitis and the medical and surgical management of complex diseases affecting the posterior segment (vitreous, retina and macula) at PD Hinduja Hospital in Mahim and the Hinduja Healthcare Surgical Hospital in Khar.

Kumar is one of the few eye doctors in India to have completed multiple Fellowships (advanced training) in Uveitis (diseases of infection and inflammation affecting the eye), Medical Retina and Surgical Retina both in the UK and US.

He said he returned home as he feels that there is a need for a good institution in Mumbai which not only provides clinical and surgical excellence that is comparable globally but also gives patients an experience that can rival the best centres worldwide.
