Exciting Breakthroughs in Breast Cancer Treatment

The pace of Indian Healthcare sector development spurred in the late 80’s and early 90’s. What have you witnessed in terms of women getting into the medical profession and choosing fields that were offbeat, such as liver, cancer, etc.?

The Indian healthcare sector has seen significant growth, particularly with the rise of private healthcare. India now offers world-class treatments across various medical fields. The infrastructure of tertiary hospitals rivals the best globally, and the training of medical and paramedical staff is robust, ensuring high-quality, safe healthcare. Women doctors are increasingly moving into traditionally maledominated fields like surgery. Young women are also excelling in surgical fields and specialties such as oncology and liver surgery.

What advancements have been made in your specialty that excite you?

The Way Home

“We comfort ourselves by reliving memories of protection. Something closed must retain our memories, while leaving them their original value as images.
