Indira Gandhi’s Final Hours: Dr Sneh Bhargava, the only women to head AIIMS, recalls

Описание: Dr. Sneh Bhargava, AIIMS Delhi’s first and still only woman director, shares her vivid memories of October 31, 1984: the day Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was shot and rushed into AIIMS while Dr. Bhargava’s appointment was being confirmed.

In this video, Dr. Bhargava describes the chaos in the casualty ward, the desperate medical efforts to revive Mrs. Gandhi, and the political pressures that followed. She also reflects on her trailblazing career in radiology, her fight for modernising the department, and her unwavering stand against political interference.

Now 95, Dr. Bhargava has released her memoir The Woman Who Ran AIIMS, revisiting the day India’s history changed, and her role in leading India’s top medical institution through its darkest hours.

Watch to hear an unfiltered, moving recollection of duty, history, and personal courage.
