As a Nephrologist, I often encounter patients who are unaware of the slow and silent progression of kidney disease—until it reaches an advanced stage. In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, marked by high salt consumption, inconsistent hydration, uncontrolled diabetes, and hypertension, prioritizing kidney health is more critical than ever.
Prevention is simple but powerful: stay well-hydrated, maintain a balanced diet low in processed foods, monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar, and get regular kidney function screenings. Kidney health doesn’t require dramatic changes—just consistent, mindful care.
It’s equally important to listen to your body and seek medical advice early. Do not ignore subtle warning signs like fatigue, swelling, or changes in urine habits.
This Doctor’s Day, I encourage everyone to value preventive care just as much as curative treatment. Let’s mark this occasion by making healthier choices—for ourselves and for those we care about. To book appointment – visit: https://nephrusindia.com/
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Doctors’ Day!
2. Dr Chandan Choudhary, MD, MED, DNB Nephrology, Nephrologist and Transplant Physician, Mumbai
“Good health is not just the absence of disease; it’s a conscious effort made every day through preventive care, awareness, and timely check-ups,” says Dr Chandan Choudhary, leading Nephrologist.
“As a nephrologist, I often see patients only after significant kidney function decline—largely due to late diagnosis or lack of regular screening. My advice is simple: be proactive about your health. Monitor your blood pressure, control blood sugar levels, stay well-hydrated, and limit excess salt intake. These small, consistent habits can go a long way in protecting your kidneys.” Early detection and lifestyle management are crucial in preventing chronic kidney disease and supporting long-term wellness. “Let’s break the silence around kidney health and promote open, informed conversations,” he adds.
On this Doctors’ Day, Dr Choudhary extends his wishes for good health, strength, and the wisdom to prioritize personal well-being. Let this day serve as a reminder: a healthier life is within reach when we take proactive steps and trust our healthcare providers.
Stay informed, stay healthy.
3. Dr Arpit Gupta, Paediatrician, MBBS (Gold Medal) , MD Pediatrics (Gold Medal), FIAP (Gold Medal) , PGPN ( Boston), DPAA (USA), Noida
“As a pediatrician, I believe a healthy childhood lays the foundation for a healthy life. Today’s fast-paced lifestyle brings unique challenges for children—ranging from nutritional deficiencies and screen addiction to rising cases of early-onset lifestyle disorders. Preventive care, timely vaccinations, balanced nutrition, and emotional well-being are essential pillars of pediatric health.”
Dr Gupta emphasizes the importance of regular growth monitoring, encouraging open conversations between parents and pediatricians, and creating screen-free, active routines for children. “We must remember that children thrive in environments filled with love, structure, and mindful care. Educating parents is equally important—awareness empowers them to make better decisions for their child’s development and immunity.”
On this Doctors’ Day 2025, he urges families to invest time in their child’s physical and emotional health. “Healthy kids grow into healthy adults. Let’s not just treat illness but nurture wellness from the very beginning.”
Wishing everyone a future filled with brighter, stronger, and healthier generations.
4. Dr Biswanath Gouda, Director,Bandra Lakeview Healthcare, Consultant Gastrointestinal,HPB and Bariatric Surgeon, attached to Lilavati Hospital Bandra and Holy Family Hospital Bandra Mumbai
On Doctors’ Day, Dr Biswanath Gouda, renowned Gastrointestinal Surgeon, shares a vital message on the growing concern of fatty liver disease.
“Fatty liver is becoming one of the most common lifestyle-related conditions in India today. It’s often silent, but if left unchecked, it can lead to serious liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer,” he explains.
“The most effective way to combat this is through weight loss. Even a 5–10% reduction in body weight can dramatically improve liver function and reduce fat accumulation. Prioritizing a balanced diet, daily physical activity, and regular health checkups can go a long way in preventing and reversing fatty liver,” Dr Gouda advises.
He further emphasizes, “We need to shift from treating illness to preventing it. The liver is a resilient organ, but it needs your support. Start with small lifestyle changes—they make a big difference over time.”
Wishing everyone a healthy and aware Doctor’s Day! Let’s commit to caring for our liver and living lighter, stronger, and longer.

“As a urologist, I’ve seen how kidney health is often neglected until it’s too late.

Empowering people with awareness is as essential as any medical breakthrough.”
