Dr. Vinod Raina – Medical Oncologist

There aren’t too many oncologists in India with a resume quite like Dr. Vinod Raina’s. He’s been in medical oncology for well over four decades now, and a big chunk of that time was spent at AIIMS, New Delhi, where he headed the department and mentored close to 70 residents — many of whom now hold senior positions themselves, both in India and abroad.

Dr. Vinod Raina currently practices at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, and honestly his case history is hard to match. He’s personally handled around 400 bone marrow and stem cell transplants across different cancer types, which isn’t something every oncologist gets to say. During his 24 years at AIIMS, he also led more than 50 research projects and co-founded the INDOX network, which tells you he’s as invested in research as he is in actual patient care.

Patients dealing with breast, lung, GI, urological, or gynecological cancers — along with lymphomas and myelomas — often get referred to him for a second opinion, especially in complicated cases.
