Ganga Hospital’s evolution emerges as a story of principled ambition. Raja Shakerin describes transforming a 17-bed family clinic into a 650-bed regional powerhouse through orthoplastic innovation, unified trauma care, and a moral commitment to treat all patients regardless of means. He frames leadership not as long-range forecasting but as doing today’s work exceptionally while seizing emerging opportunities. His reflections on teamwork, family alignment, and purpose-driven expansion reveal how institutional culture is built. Equally striking is his national road-safety advocacy—from Supreme Court litigation to massive school-based behavioural programs—showing a belief that prevention is as critical as reconstruction.
