The exceptional expertise of Dr. Vijay Bang, Mumbai’s premier interventional cardiologist, extends far beyond India’s borders. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to cardiac care in East Africa, Dr. Bang was appointed as the Goodwill Ambassador Cardiologist for Kenya, a prestigious honor that highlights his global impact in advancing cardiovascular healthcare.
This international recognition follows Dr. Bang’s remarkable work performing life-saving angioplasties in Kenya, where access to advanced cardiac interventions remains limited. His expertise was so impactful that local Kenyan cardiologists certified him as a “Saviour Of Life” in an official letter to the Prime Ministers of both India and Kenya, acknowledging his critical role in establishing interventional cardiology services in the region.
“Cardiovascular disease is a global epidemic that requires international collaboration,” notes Dr. Bang, who has over 30 years of experience and has performed more than 10,000 angioplasties. “My work in Kenya has been among the most rewarding aspects of my career, allowing me to transfer knowledge and skills while directly improving outcomes for patients who previously had limited access to interventional cardiology.”
As Goodwill Ambassador, Dr. Bang regularly conducts training sessions for Kenyan cardiologists, helping build local capacity for advanced cardiac care. His commitment to education extends beyond procedures, encompassing comprehensive approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis, and management tailored to the unique challenges of the regional healthcare system.
This international recognition builds upon Dr. Bang’s impressive credentials, which include fellowships from the American College of Cardiology (FACC), European Society of Cardiology (FESC), and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (FSCAI). His global perspective informs his practice at Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre, where he implements best practices gathered from cardiovascular centers of excellence worldwide.
For patients seeking cardiac care with truly international standards, Dr. Vijay Bang’s practice offers access to the same level of expertise that earned him recognition as Kenya’s Goodwill Ambassador Cardiologist. His unique combination of extensive experience, technical skill, and global perspective has established him as one of the best cardiologists in Mumbai for complex cardiac interventions.
