‘I
want to focus on academics, ethics and building trust’
Renowned paediatrician, healthcare activist and author Dr
R K Anand took over as the medical director of Jaslok Hospital
& Research Centre from Dr Vijai Kumar on July 1, 2005.
Defying the common trend of successful medicos shying away
from administrative jobs, Dr Anand gladly exchanged the reins
of managing the paediatric department with managing the hospital,
when requested by the management. In an interview with Rita
Dutta, the 71-year-old Dr Anand, known for his fierce honesty
and uprightness, speaks about his plans for Jaslok Hospital
and of various issues close to his heart.
