Namaste!

Dr. Anil Nausaran has taken a unique cycling event: “Kashmir to Kanyakumari”

The theme of this year’s World Health Organisation (WHO) Day, celebrated every year on April 7, is ‘Our Planet, Our Health.’ It aims to direct global attention towards the well-being of the earth and the human beings living on it.
Meerut’s senior pathologist Dr. Anil Nausaran, MD, has always maintained that awareness about the need for a “medical horoscope” in peoples’ lives is of paramount importance, and has long been spreading the WHO message. According to him, awareness can save people from many deadly diseases by taking preventive measures and treatment in time. Dr. Nausaran has also undertaken many cycle expeditions to spread such awareness.

Speaking on the day before WHO Day, Dr. Nausaran said that he believed that prevention was always better than treatment and it could be done by spreading awareness among people.

He said, “I found cycling a fit tool to reach out to people so I started cycling expeditions in 2018. The cycle serves a dual purpose. It’s cost-effective and also helps in keeping me fit. Besides, it provides easy access to people. “

He has successfully completed 22 cycle expeditions in the past four years and visited Mussorie, Kolkata, Bareilly, Shimla, AIIMS Rishikesh, and many more places across the country.

“I carry forward the message of WHO which largely insists on providing a healthy life on the planet for its people”.

Dr. Nausaran insisted that like an astrological horoscope, people should seriously think of making their medical horoscope which would protect them against genetic or hereditary disorders.

“But unfortunately, the concept of a medical horoscope is overlooked in the country,” he said.

He said that such an initiative could help in putting an effective check on diseases like AIDS and thalassemia, along with other genetic disorders which were generally detected at a later stage of life.

Dr. Nausaran did a cycle expedition of 140 km to pay his tributes to Dr. Archana Sharma who committed suicide in the Dausa district of Rajasthan after she was held responsible for the death of a woman during delivery.
