59 years. That’s how long Dr. Shakti Bhan Khanna has been practicing gynecology and obstetrics, and she’s still actively seeing patients today across two hospitals in Delhi — Indraprastha Apollo in Sarita Vihar and Apollo Cradle & Children’s Hospital in Chirag Delhi. She completed her MBBS from Jammu and Kashmir University back in 1964, then went on to do her MD in obstetrics and gynecology from Delhi University in 1969. That’s basically six decades of hands-on clinical work in one field, which isn’t something you come across often.
What she’s really known for is handling the tougher cases — high-risk pregnancies, fertility issues, pelvic reconstructive surgery, and gynecological endocrinology. Dr. Shakti Bhan Khanna also a member of the Indian Medical Association, and over the years she’s picked up quite a few honors, including a lifetime achievement award presented by the then Health Minister, Shri Ghulam Nabi Azad, along with recognitions like the “Maa Sharika Samman” in 2007 and appreciation from the Kashmiri Samiti Delhi. Patients specifically seek her out for fertility-preserving procedures and laparoscopic gynecology, plus managing pregnancies that other doctors consider complicated.
Dr. Shakti Bhan Khanna still keeps a fairly structured consultation schedule too — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at Indraprastha Apollo, and separate slots at Apollo Cradle later in the day. For someone with this much experience, staying this actively involved in day-to-day patient care says a lot.
