Some doctors change lives. Dr. Naresh Trehan has changed an entire nation’s approach to heart care.

Over five remarkable decades, his skilled hands have performed more than 48,000 open-heart surgeries – each one representing a family given hope and a life extended. But beyond the operating room, it’s his vision that has truly transformed Indian healthcare.

As the driving force behind Medanta – The Medicity, Dr. Trehan created more than just a hospital; he built a sanctuary where cutting-edge medicine meets compassionate care. His approach combines technical brilliance with a deeply human touch, understanding that treating hearts means caring for whole persons.

From pioneering minimally invasive techniques to advancing heart transplantation in India, his innovations have made world-class cardiac care accessible to thousands who might otherwise have gone without. This dedication has earned him the nation’s highest civilian honors – the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan – yet his greatest achievement remains the countless heartbeats that continue today because of his work.

What makes Dr. Trehan extraordinary isn’t just his surgical skill or his visionary leadership – it’s his unwavering belief that every patient deserves excellence, regardless of background. In a country where healthcare access varies dramatically, he has dedicated his life to narrowing that gap, one heart at a time.
