About Dr. Rahul Lath

Dr. Rahul Lath is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at Apollo Health City, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad — one of India's most respected neurosurgical centres. With over 25 years of hands-on surgical experience, he has built a reputation for handling some of the most complex conditions of the brain and spine, including tumors, vascular abnormalities, epilepsy, and congenital disorders in both adults and children.

Dr. Lath's training journey took him across leading institutions in India and Australia, giving him a broad clinical foundation and exposure to globally refined surgical techniques. He holds an MCh and DNB in Neurosurgery, and over the decades he has developed deep expertise in areas like skull base surgery, endoscopic brain surgery, deep brain stimulation, and minimally invasive spine procedures — techniques that aim to achieve the best outcomes while keeping recovery times as short as possible.

Patients and their families often speak about how Dr. Lath takes the time to explain a diagnosis clearly — breaking down what can feel like an overwhelming situation into manageable next steps. His approach combines surgical precision with genuine care for the person sitting across the table, not just the condition on the scan. For families traveling from abroad, that clarity and reassurance matters enormously.

International patients choose Dr. Lath and Apollo Hyderabad for a combination of reasons: the calibre of the surgical team, the hospital's advanced infrastructure, and the significantly lower cost of neurosurgical care compared to the US, UK, or Australia — without any compromise in quality. GAF Healthcare works closely with Dr. Lath's team to coordinate everything from initial opinion requests to post-operative follow-up, so patients can focus entirely on getting well.
