Shakhapur Village, KARNATAKA / NEW DELHI / Bokharo, JHARKHAND:
Dr. Majid Ahmed Talikoti is not just a distinguished oncosurgeon but a trailblazer whose dedication to combating cancer through surgical intervention has left an indelible mark in the field of oncology. His exceptional expertise and unwavering commitment have led him to successfully perform surgeries on over 16,000 cancer patients, a feat that speaks volumes about his impact and contributions to the medical community.
The Early Years and Determination
Dr. Majid’s journey from the small village of Shakhapur in Karnataka to becoming one of Asia’s renowned oncosurgeons is a testament to his resilience and determination. Growing up in a backward area, he faced numerous challenges but was fortunate to have parents who believed in the transformative power of education. His father’s unwavering support and belief that education could bring about positive change became the driving force behind Dr. Majid’s journey.
Educational Pursuits and Professional Growth
Driven by a strong work ethic and a thirst for knowledge, Dr. Majid pursued his education with determination. He completed his schooling in Belgaum and went on to secure admission to Al Ameen Medical College for MBBS.
His journey took a significant leap when he got admission to AIIMS and later became a senior resident in the Department of Surgical Oncology. Seeking further expertise, he pursued advanced training in Japan, honing his skills and expanding his knowledge base.
Upon his return, Dr. Majid’s dedication and skills were put to the test in the private healthcare sector. Despite initial challenges and being initially overlooked, his commitment to excellence shone through. Offering to work for free initially to showcase his capabilities in a private hospital where he got 40k in the first month as stipend, but he soon garnered recognition and remuneration for his outstanding surgical prowess. Over the past 15 years, he has performed an astounding number of surgeries, averaging about three surgeries per day—an achievement that reflects his passion for serving patients and combating cancer.
Dr. Majid’s role extends beyond individual surgeries. As the Director of Surgical Oncology at Moolchand Healthcare and a consultant at Batra Hospital & Medical Research Center, Delhi, he has not only provided exemplary patient care but also contributed significantly to advancing surgical techniques.
He is credited with starting oncosurgery at Majeedia Hospital (Hamdard University) and the Faculty of Medical Sciences of KBN University (Gulbarga), among others.
His contributions extend to training the next generation of oncosurgeons, having mentored over 200 professionals in the field.
Additionally, Dr. Majid has been proactive in raising awareness about cancer through organizing over 500 cancer awareness camps, furthering the cause of early detection and prevention. Through these initiatives, Dr. Majid has left a lasting impact on the field of oncology, not only through his surgical expertise but also through his efforts in education and advocacy.
Inspiration and Humanitarian Values
Dr. Majid found inspiration from a surgeon who regularly visited Gulbarga on Sundays to attend to patients, drawing large crowds outside his clinic. Witnessing this dedication to serving the community ignited Dr. Majid’s desire to pursue a career in medicine. However, his determination faced a test during a cricket match when he was injured, and a friend sarcastically remarked, “Look at this guy, he wants to become a doctor.” Rather than discouraging him, this comment fueled Dr. Majid’s resolve, turning what could have been a setback into a catalyst for his journey towards becoming a doctor.
Dr. Majid’s commitment to serving the nation is evident in his practice, where he performs surgeries on 100 patients every month, with almost 40 of these surgeries offered free of cost.
Dr. Majid undeniably possesses a heart of gold. He firmly believes that no one should lose their life due to financial constraints. For him, saving a life is paramount, and financial barriers should never stand in the way of providing essential medical care.
This compassionate approach is evident in his advocacy for hospital owners and management to admit poor patients if there are available beds, ensuring that those in need receive the care they deserve, regardless of their financial situation.
Vision for Universal Healthcare and Preventive Medicine
After getting overs 15 years of invaluable experience in surgical oncology, Dr. Majid made a significant decision—to establish Medicant Hospital & Research Centre – a 600-beds hospital in the steel city of Bokaro in Jharkhand. Set to commence operations next month, this hospital represents Dr. Majid’s commitment to giving back to society.
Dr. Majid enlisted the expertise of Mr. Khurshid Alam , an esteemed health and educational consultant based in London, for this mega project.
When asked about his choice of location, he explained that his patients had given him a great deal, inspiring him to return the favour by serving the community. Despite acknowledging Delhi as a lucrative place for earning, Dr. Majid prioritized providing the beat medical facilities to the most backward area like Jharkhand, where proper medical infrastructure is lacking. His decision reflects his dedication to improving healthcare access in disadvantaged regions and ensuring that quality medical care is accessible to all, regardless of their background or location.
Dr. Majid firmly advocates for a universal health plan and security, stressing the importance of including healthcare as a fundamental right in India. He emphasizes that everyone should have access to essential health services without discrimination.
Dr. Majid’s belief extends to the core understanding that good schools and hospitals are foundational elements that should take precedence in societal priorities. His resolute stance reflects a vision for a more equitable and accessible healthcare system, where quality education and healthcare are fundamental rights accessible to all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status.
Dr. Majid advocates for mandatory health checkups, especially for individuals aged 40 and above, as he believes they are crucial for early detection and prevention of diseases. He emphasizes the necessity of regular health screenings for women, citing the fact that diseases like cancer are highly curable when diagnosed in the initial stages. Dr. Majid’s advice underscores the critical role of health education for all individuals, as it empowers people to prioritize their health and seek timely medical interventions, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes and quality of life.
Dr.Majid Ahmed Talikoti‘s journey from a small village to a renowned oncosurgeon is not just a personal triumph but a testament to his unwavering dedication, exceptional skills, and humanitarian values. His contributions to oncology and healthcare advocacy stand as a beacon of hope for a healthier and more equitable society.
