As I look back at 2025, I see a year defined by transformation. It was a year of immense professional satisfaction, deep emotional pivots, and family pride.
The year began with significant milestones at Aster MIMS. We successfully conducted the EmergenZ 3 International Emergency Medicine series in Wayanad and achieved International Accreditation for STEMI and Stroke from the AHA. One of my long-standing dreams—the establishment of the Aster Medical Simulation Center and the Aster ATLS Training Center—also became a reality.
I am also humbled to have received the Asianet Lifetime Achievement Special Jury Award and the AHA Special Appreciation Award this past year.
On a personal note, 2025 brought a huge success for my family. My daughter, Dr. Neethu, and son-in-law, Dr. Kamel Dev, who are currently working at Hillingdon NHS Trust, successfully completed their FRCEM exams under the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, UK. Seeing the next generation excel in Emergency Medicine is a joy beyond words.
However, the year also marked the end of an era. After nearly 25 years with the Aster Group, I voluntarily resigned. It was a difficult decision to say goodbye to an organization that has been my home, and even harder to bid farewell to my mentor, Dr. Azad Moopen, who molded me into the professional I am today.
But every end is a new beginning. I am thrilled to have taken charge as Chair of Emergency Medicine at Meitra Hospital and joined as Guest Faculty at Malabar Medical College. My focus is now on empowering Rural Emergency Systems in Kerala, with 6 projects already completed and more in the pipeline.
Here is to 2026—to saving lives, building legacies, and strengthening our communities.
