About my teachingPublic health practice
More than 20 health camps across six districts of Haryana and Punjab, reaching approximately 1,800 people with clinical services — alongside health education, street plays, Hands-Only CPR training and structured quality improvement.
Community & fieldwork
Writing & creativity
Beyond medicine, I write. My poetry collection The One Who Has Risen was published in 2019 and the New Delhi World Book Fair in 2023 — a quieter, more literary dimension of my work.
