A Personal Note from Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy

“Throughout my years in interventional pulmonology and lung transplantation across India and abroad, the greatest lessons in courage have come from patients themselves. When someone chronicles their journey with raw honesty, it becomes a beacon of light for others facing the unknown.”
