Awareness is important. But awareness without action is incomplete.

Pink ribbons, marathons, cycling events and awareness campaigns help start the conversation. But the real impact comes when that awareness translates into screening, timely evaluation and early detection.

Don’t just wear the pink. Turn awareness into action.

What happens when the people who need our systems the most are the ones who find them hardest to navigate?

Healthcare is becoming smarter. Technology is becoming faster. Data is becoming more powerful.

But progress cannot only be measured by how advanced the system becomes.

It must also be measured by who can actually use it.

A few thoughts on why inclusivity cannot be an afterthought.

India is ageing. We often speak about India as a young country, and we are.

A healthy heart is about much more than avoiding a heart attack.

It is about building a body with the strength and reserve to face illness when it comes.

This World Heart Day, I reflect on why we need less panic, more awareness—and most importantly, action.

Off late, we seem to be hearing about the heart everywhere. Heart attacks, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, sudden cardiac events—the conversation is everywhere, and understandably so.

When we talk about blood cancer, the first step is understanding what the blood counts are telling us.

A change in RBCs, WBCs or platelets does not automatically mean cancer—there can be several reasons. But persistent and significant abnormalities need to be investigated rather than ignored.

In this video, I explain what changes in blood counts can indicate, how leukaemia can present as acute or chronic disease, and why timely evaluation matters.

Don't diagnose from a blood report. Understand it with your doctor.

Your lungs work for you from your very first breath to your last.
World Lung Day 2026 is a reminder that protecting lung health is a lifelong responsibility—not something we think about only when disease appears.
Reduce harmful exposures, protect yourself from to***co and pollution, pay attention to persistent respiratory symptoms, and seek timely medical care.
A lifetime of lung health begins with the choices we make today.

Cancer treatment has come a long way—and it is no longer about one treatment being better than another.

The real question is not, “What is the strongest treatment?”
It is: “What is the right treatment for this particular patient?”
Because good oncology is not about treating the cancer alone. It is about understanding the cancer, understanding the patient, and choosing the strategy that brings the best possible outcome.

This World Alzheimer’s Day, the message is simple: knowing earlier gives families more clarity, more choices, and more time to plan, support, and care.

A diagnosis may be difficult, but uncertainty should never stand in the way of seeking answers.

For me, patient safety has never been just about preventing something from going wrong.
It is about asking, at every stage of treatment: Is this still the right thing for this patient?
On World Patient Safety Day, I share my thoughts on why safe care must be personalised, continuously reassessed, and centred on one fundamental objective—not just helping a patient live longer, but helping them live better.
Safe care for life.

When we speak about patient safety, the conversation often begins with avoiding medical errors, preventing infections, or ensuring that a procedure is performed correctly. All of these are important.
