- DR. BHAWNA SIROHI

As the Medical Director at Balco Medical Centre, Raipur, and a senior consultant specializing in breast and gastrointestinal cancers, she has devoted her career to ensuring that world-class treatment is not limited to a privileged few, but available to all.

Her journey reflects the seamless blending of clinical expertise and public health vision. Early in her career, Dr. Sirohi worked extensively in rural India, organizing cancer awareness drives and conducting screening camps for breast and cervical cancers. She recalls the challenge of persuading women to step forward for something as simple as a breast examination. Yet, through collaboration with village elders, local leaders, and community influencers, she succeeded in breaking barriers of silence and stigma. These early experiences shaped her patient-first philosophy.
