Kauvery Hospital in Vadapalani, Chennai, has launched the Kauvery Institute of Digestive Sciences to address the rising prevalence of digestive disorders in India. A significant portion of the urban Indian population experiences issues like acidity and indigestion regularly, with over half of households reporting multiple complaints. Experts cite changing diets, processed food consumption, stress, and sedentary lifestyles as contributing factors, noting an increase in these disorders among younger individuals. The new institute aims to provide coordinated, evidence-based care integrating medical and surgical gastroenterology, hepatology, and preventive strategies.
