In three years, from March 2020 to March 2023, the Food and Safety Standards Authority of India tested 430,000 food samples and found that 1 in 4 (25%) did not conform to food safety laws.

Of these, 1 in 6 were either 'unsafe' or 'substandard' and the rest

Medical students in post graduate residency. A completely ignored group of people in this country.

We need to talk about this.

There is a lot at stake here. Many students do not have it easy. There is a lot of sacrifice, from study loans to family that hang in the balance.

Brothers and sisters, this is what 'detox' ABC juice and 'immune boosting' AMLA juice does to you. You end up paying the liver doctor and kidney doctor. Educate yourself.

There is a reason why I spend close to 30 minutes with a new patient. Now this patient and the family will educate others around them. The role of a doctor is to teach first, then treat. It's exhausting, but worth every second.

Hear me out.

Cirrhosis group of patients are among the highest to have repeated hospital visits including outpatient, inpatient emergency care.

Hello Vaidya,

The Uttar Pradesh Law Enforcement is trying to shut down my Twitter account. This is how the alternative medicine industry and its practitioners within AYUSH department/ministry in India, respond to scientific criticism.

A lot of people have been sharing a recently published study on adverse events associated with Covaxin [Indian made Covid vaccine from Bharat Biotech] which was published in the journal, Drug Safety by a team from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

I think these 'headlines' are going to give me more trouble than my public health work and publications on alternative medicine in India.

Almost done with the vacation and getting back home. The best part of vacation is the time I get to reflect on many things. It is a time to plan on being future proof in the context of career, professional work, self care and family.
