Major Milestones in her Journey
The most memorable achievement for Dr.
Bapat, she says, was of removing an eight kg
tumor. For her extra-ordinary dedication and
work, she has been honored with many
accolades. Some of the most significant
awards that she received from the Government
of India and other prestigious boards are
Naiduniya Nayika Award and the Captain of
Industry Award. She also made her place in
the World Book of Records. But, according to
Dr. Bapat, the most remarkable achievement
remains the recognition that she gets from her
own people. Her mantra for success is
‘Tirelessly working towards better, every day’.
Overcoming the Challenges
Speaking of the hurdles in the path, Dr. Bapat
asserted, “Major challenges were bringing
new technologies and making it aware, adapt,
and implicated to the city. Another challenge
is to do the things without financial support.”
To counter these, she has been continuously
upgrading herself and her hospital by reading,
learning, attending, and teaching. She realizes
that every branch in every industry sees more
and more developments every day. She has
ensured that she stays abreast of all the new
advancements. Alongside, Dr. Bapat has led
One zealously, helping it grow and branch in
different areas.
Although, being a surgeon is quite a tedious
job, she has brilliantly maintained a proper
balance between her personal and professional
life. “If you love your job, things will
automatically follow in line with the best
partner and best of the kids,” she says.
