Early life and education

Doctor Sree Bhushan Raju was born in Vanaparthi village in a lower-middle-class background family. This village is located at Bhongir mandal of Nalgonda district of Telangana. After primary school education, he pursued medical education (MBBS) in Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad and completed the course in 1993. He was awarded various gold medals for his academic excellence during the MBBS curriculum. He secured a top rank in All India competitive examination and joined the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad for his post-graduation. He completed the M.D (General Medicine) at NIMS in 1998. Later he joined the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India and completed the D.M. in nephrology. He scored highest marks and earned a gold medal in the D.N.B examination held in September 2002. He is one of the very few specialists with MBA in health care management in the country. Main areas of interest are clinical nephrology, CAPD, and CRRT.[3] He was also served as elected NIMS faculty association President.

Career

He has written more than 100 publications in various national and international journals and has attended conferences and workshops abroad both as a delegate and speaker/moderator since the last 15 years. He is a regular writer in popular print media and educates the public on various Kidney diseases through electronic media.[4]

Along with seeing patients daily, he specializes in kidney transplantation and Peritoneal dialysis (PD). He is known for his minimal use of immunosuppressive drugs without induction agents in organ transplantation. He has performed more than 250 kidney transplantations, 5000 renal biopsies, and 700 CAPD patients, since 2011. under his leadership and commitment, the department became one of the largest in the country with 8 faculty and 18 fellows. The department caters to 25000 new patients every year and active inpatient care (around 600 real biopsies, 100 renal transplants including an active deceased donor transplant program, and nearly 100 PD catheter insertions, every year) as well as clinical research.[3] He has conducted regular free medical camps for the people of his village and surrounding villages. He extended his service by providing basic amenities to the nephrology departments like renovation of the ARCU and other essential things for patients.

He advocates that Peritoneal dialysis is ideal for kidney patients who find it difficult to travel to hospitals. Currently the nephrology department of NIMS — the largest peritoneal dialysis centre in the country – trains 80 patients to 100 patients every year in the procedure. NIMS Hospital has become the first centre in South India to receive recognition from the International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD) as a training centre for peritoneal dialysis. The efficient training and treatment protocols employed for patients made the department the only centre in South India to bag ISPD's recognition.[5]

Patients need a bit of hand-holding in the initial two to three months. After that, they really benefit. The peritoneal dialysis is ideal for kidney patients who find it difficult to travel to hospitals for Certain categories of patients such as children, elderly and visually impaired, who cannot travel long distances, need peritoneal dialysis support at home. Almost all the major private hospitals provide hemodialysis, wherein dialysis machines are used to purify the blood for kidney patients and are located in hospitals. In peritoneal dialysis, patients usually can take care of themselves at home and do not need a dedicated bedside healthcare provider. says Sree Bhushan Raju[5]
