Dr Ashley D'cruz is the Director of the Narayana Hrudayalaya Women and Children's Institute, Bangalore.

He presently is the President of the Indian Association of Paediatric Surgeons and is already proving to be one of its most active presidents. He spearheads the difficult task of securing insurance for children with congenital anomalies.

Dr D'cruz had started the pediatric liver transplant program when he was in St John’s and now has successfully completed thirty Paediatric Liver transplants in Narayana Hrudayalaya. This is probably the biggest liver transplant program in the country for children. He plays a pivotal role in this mode of treatment, long thought to be near impossible in India.

Dr D'cruz was the principal surgeon in the much publicized successful separation of conjoined twins, Peace and Patience and Laxmi the little child with multiple limbs. This received extensive international media coverage and was a success story for medical care in India. As Director of the NHWCI, he has been involved with the national insurance companies, where he is part of the think tank which is setting guidelines for uniform treatment costs in India.

He is also very close to getting the women and children's hospital to be a stand alone hospital. Community and developmental pediatrics will be a major thrust area at the hospital, apart from our delivery of cutting edge in- hospital care.
