On January 15, 2025, Shalby Limited achieved a significant milestone in Indian healthcare with the inauguration of India’s largest Tissue & Bone Bank at Krishna Shalby Hospital in Ahmedabad. This pioneering facility, which is also Gujarat’s first of its kind, was inaugurated by Honourable Shri Amitbhai Shah, Union Minister of Home Affairs and Cooperation, in the presence of Dr. Vikram Shah and Dr. Darshini Shah.
Purpose and Significance
The Shalby Tissue & Bone Bank represents a revolutionary step in the healthcare sector by addressing critical gaps in the availability of bone grafts. These grafts are indispensable in surgeries such as:
- Repairing bone defects and enhancing bone healing.
- Improving joint stability for sports injuries.
- Reconstructing congenital skeletal defects.
- Rebuilding jaws for dental implants and dentures.
- Replacing cancerous bones following tumor removal.
A Sustainable and Patient-Centric Initiative
Dr. Vikram Shah, the visionary behind this initiative, emphasized the facility's focus on making effective use of biological materials that are routinely discarded, such as bone removed during joint replacement surgeries. This innovative approach not only reduces medical waste but also creates life-saving and life-enhancing grafts for patients.
According to Dr. Shah, “This venture is a testament to our commitment to world-class healthcare. By utilizing these biological materials, we aim to provide reliable and affordable solutions that improve the quality of life for patients across India.”
A Leap in Indian Tissue Banking
With the launch of this advanced facility, Shalby positions itself as a leader in the tissue banking sector in India, enabling the distribution of bone grafts to hospitals, surgeons, and even patients on a prescription basis. Dr. Shah highlighted that this milestone places India on par with developed countries, fostering growth in niche areas of healthcare.
