First Ever EUS RFA in Central Travancore — A CeAGE Milestone

Some achievements don't just mark a moment, they change the future of healthcare for an entire region. This is one of them.

Heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Deepak Johnson and Team CeAGE at Believers Hospital, Thiruvalla — pioneers of Central Travancore's first-ever EUS RFA (Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Radiofrequency Ablation), and the first of its kind performed anywhere outside Cochin.

A neuroendocrine tumour at the critical neck-head junction of the pancreas was precisely and successfully ablated under real-time EUS guidance, a procedure demanding exceptional skill, accuracy, and expertise. The result? A patient back home, safe and well, the very next day.This is not just a milestone for Believers Hospital. It is a landmark moment for all of Central Travancore.

Dr. Deepak Johnson and Team CeAGE have shattered boundaries, raising the bar for what is possible in minimally invasive care bringing world-class treatment closer to patients who need it most.
