HepatoBiliary Surgeon Dr. Karan Gandhi
General Surgeon in Nairobi
I am a General Surgeon in Nairobi Kenya, with world-class training in Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary (HPB) from the University of Cape Town, specializing in advanced liver, biliary, and pancreatic surgeries, both open and laparoscopic.
My expertise also includes highly-specialised interventional endoscopic procedures such as ERCP and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)
Recognised as one of Kenya’s ‘top forty under 40,’ I am passionate about advancing surgical care in Kenya, particularly in the HPB field.
I am also involved in shaping Kenya’s national liver transplantation guidelines through the MOH and my ultimate goal is to be part of the team that performs the country’s first liver transplant.
Internationally, I serve on two IHPBA committees and collaborate on multi-disciplinary ventures like HPBridge. Whether mentoring future surgeons, conducting cutting-edge medical research, or helping shape global surgical practices, I remain committed to excellence in healthcare.

What my patients say…
Dr. Karan is very professional and dedicated in his work and serving the patients diligently. He was empathetic with great bedside manner and definitely had patients’ interests at heart. I would definitely recommend for general surgery/ gastrointestinal/ liver problems and surgery.
Very kind and professional. Helped in explaining and exploring all possible options. We really appreciated his guidance and support through our parent’s medical journey.
