A Multitalented Life-Giver – Dr Vidya Jha: Emphasizing A Blend of Academic Excellence and Ethical Va

From her early educational days, Dr Vidya Jha looked at doctors as more than healthcare professionals. “I like challenges, and during MBBS, I was captivated by the detective-like nature of pathology, solving medical mysteries and providing crucial answers that guide patient care,” she says. So, during her post-graduation, Dr Vidya opted for Pathology, which is considered the backbone of medicine at one of India’s biggest government hospitals, Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi, hoping to make a tangible difference in healthcare, bridging the gap between diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. After having witnessed the huge number of daily footfalls at Safdarjung Hospital and thousands of tests being run daily, Dr Vidya also became inclined towards hospital administration and became interested in streamlining the various processes that patients undergo in hospitals.
