‘Doctors learn to cope with work pressure from the get-go’

Apeejay has always upheld the importance of helping people and has inculcated the same values in its students. An alumnus of the school, Dr Himanshu Sachdeva, therefore, went on to dedicate his life to the same cause, which led him to choose a career in medicine. At present, he is working as the director of Sure Path Labs. In an interview, the pathologist tells us more about his passion towards serving the community.
