The Sancheti Hospital is one of the renowned hospitals in the country. It’s founder Dr. K H Sancheti, who is a well-known orthopaedic surgeon celebrates his 85th birthday on July 24, Saturday.
When we listen celebrate, we view a more relaxed version of an old-man on his birthday and his retiring day. But, unlike our perception, Dr. Sancheti will perform his last surgery before he officially calls it a day.
Dr. Sancheti has performed over 55K surgeries and it’ll be his last on Saturday.
“Since the hospital was set up in 1965, I have been working continuously. I will perform my favourite Hip Replacement Surgery tomorrow and I will officially retire from my surgical practice. But, I will continue looking after patients through OPD’s. I will also be looking after administrative work and work related to the ongoing construction work of the new hospital building,” Dr. Sancheti, also known as KHS, said.
