“He went into cardiac shock in the morning and passed away during treatment. His reports were normal, but symptoms pointed to Dengue leading to drop in platelets count to 18,000,” a doctor from the hospital told TOI.

He was highly skilled in performing procedures on the heart, lungs, oesophagus, and other organs in the chest. Congenital heart conditions refer to defects in the heart that are present at birth, such as holes in the heart or abnormal valves.  

In addition to congenital heart surgeries, he was proficient in performing a wide range of adult cardiac surgeries. This may include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), heart valve replacement or repair, and heart transplant surgery.   

Dr Gehlot was originally from Jodhpur. He completed his education at Dr Sampurnanand Medical College in Jodhpur. He served as a cardiac surgeon for a long time at MDM Hospital and worked at a private hospital in Jaipur before joining Vasundhara Hospital in Jodhpur.

“With deep sadness, we mourn the loss of Dr. Rajeev Gehlot, a pillar of our medical community. His exceptional skills, compassion, and unwavering dedication to patient care saved countless lives and brought hope to many. A true healer, now at rest, Dr Gehlot’s legacy will continue to inspire our team and all those who had the privilege of knowing him. We honor his memory and commitment to excellence. Rest in peace, Dr. Gehlot. You will be profoundly missed,” Medipulse Hospital wrote in a post on Instagram.
