BHU's First Female Neurosurgeon Dr. Neeti Rejects Lucrative Offers to Serve Poor
- •Dr. Neeti, from a poor family in Koderma, Jharkhand, became the first female neurosurgeon from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), overcoming financial challenges and societal norms.
- •Her father gave her 'one chance' for medical entrance; she secured 249th rank in AIPMT 2012, then completed MBBS from Lady Hardinge Medical College and PG from UCMS, all in first attempts.
- •Despite advice to choose easier fields like gynecology, she pursued neurosurgery, a male-dominated specialty, and achieved MCh from BHU, making her its first female neurosurgeon.
- •She rejected lucrative job offers from top hospitals to join Khan Sir's hospital in Patna, driven by a mission to provide better treatment and awareness to poor and economically weaker patients.
- •Dr. Neeti currently handles 100-150 OPD patients daily at Khan Healthcare, serving patients from Bihar, Jharkhand, Nepal, and Uttar Pradesh, aiming to make it a top neurosurgery center.
