BEST MOMENTS "Education not sow the seed in you, but makes your seed grow." "In my early journey, frankly speaking, I just wanted, after my medical school education, I was more tilted toward the surgical side. But somehow, as it is designed, I tilted towards, I got into pathology, and from nowhere, I landed up in microbiology." "One of the key areas that is neglected in the developing countries is the primary healthcare system. If we start working on the primary healthcare system, we can have lesser burden on the secondary and tertiary healthcare systems."
