PGIMER Best Outgoing Student and Kidwai DM-Trained Female Paediatric Oncologist with Apollo BMT and GENE Council Australia Cancer Genetics

Paediatric oncology is a sub-specialty where the combination of academic distinction, formal sub-specialty training across blood and solid cancers, dedicated bone marrow transplantation experience, and engagement with international cancer genetics is genuinely uncommon, particularly among female practitioners in Indian regional practice. Dr Aarthi's training pathway uniquely combines four distinct credentialling stages: PGIMER Chandigarh distinction, Kidwai sub-specialty depth, Apollo BMT focus, and international Cancer Genetics certification through GENE Council Australia.

For families navigating decisions about a child diagnosed with cancer, this depth of credentialled and personalised care matters not only for treatment selection but also for long-term survivorship outcomes, and is now offered through her current consultancies at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka, Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, and Shankara Cancer Hospital Basavanagudi.
