Gastroenterology Club of Indore
Also known as Gut Club Indore. Advancing digestive and liver health across the city.

The chapter
A city chapter with a clear purpose
Indore is the largest city in Madhya Pradesh and one of central India's busiest centres for tertiary medical care. Its hospitals, teaching institutions and private practices handle a very large volume of digestive and liver disease every week, from common acid peptic disorders to complex hepatobiliary and pancreatic work.
Gastroenterology Club of Indore exists so that the clinicians doing that work have a regular, disciplined place to meet. The chapter runs academic sessions, discusses real cases from local practice, invites visiting faculty, and gives postgraduates and early career specialists a room where they can ask questions and present their own material.
The chapter is registered as Gastroenterology Club of Indore, is known informally as Gut Club Indore, and functions as the Indore city chapter of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, the national body for the specialty in India.
Under the ISG umbrella
The Indian Society of Gastroenterology is the national professional body for gastroenterology in India. It describes itself as a national society with more than 4,000 members across 20 state chapters, working to raise standards of education, training and care in the specialty.
What we do
Three things the chapter works on
Everything the chapter organises falls into one of these areas. The format changes through the year, the intent does not.
Case based peer discussion
Difficult and instructive cases from local hospitals presented and debated among peers. This is where diagnostic reasoning gets tested and where trainees learn how experienced clinicians actually think.
Public awareness of gut health
Outreach on digestive and liver disease for the wider public in Indore, covering prevention, early warning signs, liver disease, cancer screening and when a person genuinely needs to see a specialist.
National network
One city chapter, one national community
The Indian Society of Gastroenterology connects specialists across the country. Gastroenterology Club of Indore is how that network reaches clinicians and patients in Indore.
