Health Gatha
Welcome to Health Gatha, where we don’t just talk about diseases, we talk about people—their struggles, their fears, and their victories. These are real stories, straight from the lives of patients (with names changed), written by Dr Rahul Chawla. Every week, we’ll walk with someone as they face the rollercoaster of illness, from the shock of diagnosis to the ups and downs of treatment, the setbacks that make them question everything, and the small moments that give them hope to keep going.
Ever wondered what it’s really like to deal with health challenges? At Health Gatha, you’ll discover stories that truly resonate—stories that remind you that even in life’s toughest moments, you’re never alone. These aren’t just tales of survival, they’re honest, heartfelt journeys filled with strength, hope, and the kind of love and support we all need to keep moving forward.
