Lucknow: Dr. Nalini Singh will be closely working with the Critical Care, ICU, and OT sections of BMC Hospital to streamline medical processes and ensure that the city gets a state-of-the-art 100-bed hospital, catering to the core healthcare needs of the public in and around Sushant Golf City.
Dr. Singh emphasizes that healthcare must be of prime importance, especially in the post-COVID era, where the care and screening of diseases have become paramount for the finest quality treatment. She believes that every patient seeks comprehensive healthcare facilities with all specializations. To fulfill this, BMC Hospital aims to provide the best healthcare, bringing in top neurosurgeons and a cutting-edge cardiac cath lab, thus fostering healthy competition among private hospitals.
Strategic Location and Vision
Addressing why Sushant Golf City was chosen as the hospital’s location, Dr. Singh states that the area is rapidly developing, and apart from Medanta in Gomti Nagar, no other private hospital is catering to this region. Establishing BMC Hospital here ensures accessibility to quality healthcare for residents.
Journey into Medicine
Dr. Singh’s inspiration to become a doctor stemmed from her school days, motivated by her parents. She always aspired to wear the white coat, but only gradually understood the significance and respect associated with the profession. Cracking her PG exam and entering Government Medical College in Nagpur was a defining milestone, and she credits her time at Kokilaben College for refining her skills as a trained organ transplant professional.
A turning point in her career was witnessing a pregnant woman lose her life due to liver failure, as a suitable organ was not available in time. This experience urged her to specialize in organ transplants to help save lives.
Advocating Women’s Health
Dr. Singh highlights that women often hesitate to speak about their health issues due to a lack of awareness and knowledge about healthcare facilities. She stresses the importance of addressing pregnancy-related complications, postpartum hemorrhage, stress, anxiety, and depression. She urges women to maintain a balance, emphasizing that they are the backbone of the family, and good health is crucial for raising a strong household.
Raising Health Awareness
Dr. Singh strongly advocates the need for greater awareness about diseases and their symptoms, emphasizing the importance of timely doctor consultations. She encourages the organization of frequent health camps and warns against the dangers of self-medication and reliance on online information.
Message for Aspiring Doctors
Dr. Singh firmly believes that aspiring doctors must be at their best, as healthcare is not just about treating the elderly but also about ensuring the well-being of young adults, women, and children. She cautions against the old notion of “everything will be alright” and highlights the advancements in medical technology that now enable the treatment of even complex diseases like cancer.
She concludes by stressing the importance of prioritizing health and avoiding self-medication, reinforcing the idea that healthcare should be a proactive rather than reactive approach.
