An empowered woman is powerful beyond measure and beautiful beyond description,” and this quote aptly describes Dr Kavita Saggar, an eminent Radiologist from the region who has created ripples of change in her field of expertise.

After pursuing her MBBS from Government Medical College, Amritsar, followed by a post-graduation in Radio Diagnosis from the same college, Dr Saggar has been practicing in the Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana (DMCH) since almost the last three decades and is also serving as the Head of Department, Radio-diagnosis at DMCH since the last 14 years.

A proud Professor at heart, she firmly shares, “People often ask me what do I make or rather, how much do I make? and my answer has always been that I make Radiologists.”

What’s more? Dr Saggar has served as the President of the State chapter of Indian Radiology And Imaging Association (IRIA) twice and has been a member of the Senate committee of Baba Farid University Of Health Sciences, Faridkot.

But her role doesn’t end here, she is also a mom to two adorable children – Karan (26) and Vani (23) who are presently pursuing their higher education abroad (and two golden retrievers who never leave her side!).

In a candid tête-à-tête with Dr Kavita Saggar, we explore her trailblazing story of juggling between her personal and professional commitments as a pro.
