Dr Saurabh Baghi, a non-invasive cardiologist and Chief Executive Officer of Anil Bhagi Hospital in Amritsar, believes that true medical excellence requires more than technical qualifications. “While medical degrees require years of intense study and rigorous training, being a truly good doctor goes far beyond technical qualifications. It is a unique blend of science, compassion and unwavering dedication,” he said.
Leadership and Clinical Expertise
Appointed CEO of Anil Bhagi Hospital in 2020 at a remarkably young age, Dr Baghi oversees 25 medical specialties and a team of nearly 300 staff members, including doctors and paramedics. Colleagues describe him as someone who seamlessly combines exceptional clinical expertise and analytical problem-solving with deep empathy and strong communication skills.
Dr Baghi completed his MD in internal medicine at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in the United States, followed by a fellowship in cardiology and heart failure at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. At Mount Sinai, he received extensive training in managing patients with advanced heart failure and using cardiac devices such as Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs), pacemakers, and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT).
Holistic Approach to Heart Health
He approaches heart health holistically, taking time to address lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and underlying comorbidities. When necessary, he collaborates with multidisciplinary medical teams to ensure the best possible long-term outcomes for his patients.
Believing that change is the essence of growth, Dr Baghi acknowledges that continuous adaptation is vital to his development. This philosophy drives him to stay abreast of evolving medical technologies, continuously refining his ability to interpret complex data from electrocardiograms (ECGs), echocardiograms, and cardiac catheterisation procedures.
Dr Baghi embodies the ethos: “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Till your good is better and your better is the best.” His career reflects constant evolution, adaptation, and improvement, setting a benchmark for medical professionals in the region.
