Why Do I Write?
I Write to Help People Make Informed Health Decisions
"I write because I believe the gap between what medicine knows and what patients understand is too wide — and too costly. Every article I write is an attempt to close that gap."
— Dr. Chandrakant Lahariya
Dr. Lahariya has been writing for national media since the early 2000s. What began as occasional expert commentary has grown into one of India's most consistent and respected medical columns — appearing regularly in The Hindu, Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Asian Age, Dainik Bhaskar, Amar Ujala, and Indian Express, among others.
His writing covers two main areas: clinical health topics written for general readers — explaining complex conditions like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, vaccination, and infectious diseases in accessible language — and public health policy commentary, where he applies his experience from 23+ years in clinical practice and global health institutions to analyse policy decisions affecting millions of Indians.
He is also a sought-after expert commentator on national television — appearing regularly on NDTV, CNN-News18, News18, and other national channels to provide authoritative, evidence-based perspective on breaking health news and public health developments.
