Ep 72 l Story of First Vaccinated Health Worker of India l Ft.Dr Parveen Yograj

Welcome to another special episode of Tawi Tales. Some people don’t just practice a profession—they turn their entire life into a mission. Today, we are honoured to host a doctor whose remarkable journey spans operating theatres, government hospitals, remote villages, the Civil Secretariat, and the most challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through every phase, he has earned the trust, respect, and admiration of countless people. His journey in medicine began in 1982 with MBBS, and more than 44 years later, nearly 70 patients still visit his clinic every day. He served as the personal physician to several Chief Ministers of Jammu & Kashmir for over two decades. On the very first day of India’s COVID-19 vaccination drive, he had the distinction of becoming the country’s first vaccinated healthcare worker in Rajouri. But his story is far more than that of a surgeon or a physician. It is the story of a man who transformed duty into devotion, treated every patient like family, and stood firm with courage and compassion through every challenge. Today, he has brought together the wisdom of over four decades in medicine in his book, “42 Years, 42 Lessons – A Doctor’s Journey Through Medicine, Duty & Destiny,” a work that has been widely appreciated by readers. So, let’s meet a doctor for whom the stethoscope is not merely a medical instrument, but a symbol of service, dedication, and humanity. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Dr. Parveen Yograj on Tawi Tales.
