Dr. Majid Ahmed Talikoti: An oncosurgeon with a heart of gold, who has performed surgeries on over 16,000 cancer patients

Shakhapur Village, KARNATAKA / NEW DELHI / Bokharo, JHARKHAND:

Dr. Majid Ahmed Talikoti

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.

Medicant Hospital & Research Centre in Bokaro, Jharkhand.

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.

Breathing life into Jharkhand

Jharkhand :

In a bold and unprecedented move, the Excise Department of Jharkhand has launched a groundbreaking initiative aimed at equipping individuals across various sectors with the life-saving skills of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).

Spearheaded by the visionary Excise Commissioner, Faiz AQ Ahmed Mumtaz, this initiative has birthed an army of over 10,000 first responders, poised to become beacons of hope in times of crisis across the state.

CPR, a vital technique employed during emergencies such as cardiac arrests or instances of respiratory distress, has long been recognition for its potential to double or even triple the chances of survival when administered promptly by trained individuals. The significance of CPR was recently underscored by a remarkable incident involving an elderly woman in Chhattisgarh, who defied death’s grip and regained consciousness upon her arrival in Bihar after a journey fraught with peril.

Mumtaz, spurred by a conversation with his wife, Dr. Hena Shadiyah, embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between life and death by ensuring timely CPR interventions. Recognizing the dire need for widespread awareness, Mumtaz initiated CPR sessions within the Excise Department, igniting a flame that spread rapidly across district offices, bars, and clubs. This initiative operates on a shoestring budget, requiring only minimal resources and a mere 1-1.5 hours per training session .

Mumtaz’s vision extends beyond mere training; he envisions a ripple effect where trained individuals become instructors, multiplying the impact of CPR expertise exponentially. Transitioning to his new role as Horticulture Director, Mumtaz is determined to ingrain CPR education into the fabric of Jharkhand’s society.

Medical professionals echo Mumtaz’s sentiment, acknowledging CPR as a fundamental aspect of health awareness. Dr. DP Singh, a general physician, commends Mumtaz’s initiative, recognising its potential to salvage countless lives lost to ignorance and apathy. Dr. Danish Ejaz, another medical expert, emphasises the critical role of CPR in augmenting survival chances during cardiac emergencies.

Testimonials from establishments like The Ruin House and Swarnrekha Bar and Restaurant in Ranchi attest to the transformative power of CPR training, empowering employees to act decisively in the face of adversity.

Sikandar Rajwar, owner of Swarnrekha Bar and Restaurant, praises Mumtaz’s efforts, affirming that his staff are now equipped to handle any cardiac emergency with aplomb.

Besides exchanging teaching techniques and knowledge-sharing, the programme expanded my approach and gave me exposure to challenges faced by teachers in different countries, some of which were similar to what we face here in India, while others were extremes, which helped me understand the progress made by India in infrastructure, as well as the areas where we need to improve”.

A Maulana’s noble initiative of water distribution in summer to the roadside vendors and beggars

Aurangabad, MAHARASHTRA:

Maulana Abdul Qayyum Nadvi on his mission.

Maulana Abdul Qayyum Nadvi, who has been successfully running his book store ‘Mirza Book world’ in Aurangabad has hit upon another novel plan to quench the thirst of the poor and needy on the roadside.

Every day he buys some cartoons of 300 ml water bottles, refrigerates them overnight and in the morning around 10 am on his way to his book store, when the sun is already hot and shining bright, distributes the water bottles to the road side vendors, beggars and whoever asks for it.

He shared that he began this water distribution activity around 5-6 years back on the occasion of World Water Day. “ At that time, I used to collect empty water bottles from functions, events and gatherings, take them home, sterilise them with hot water, then fill them up, keep them in the fridge and distribute them in the morning to people who were thirsty and could not afford to buy a water bottle”.

“Now, I no longer collect water bottles, I buy them. When my friends saw what I was doing they too joined in and together we pool the money and buy the water bottles. It is much easier,” he explained.

Maulana Abdul Qayyum is not new to social work. He also supports the Mohalla libraries with his daughter Maryam Mirza who is running more than 30 small libraries in the slums of Aurangabad. Many of the books in these mohalla libraries have been donated by the Maulana from his book store.

He runs a foundation called Read and Lead Foundation (RLF) which is mostly about promoting the culture of reading, preserving Urdu language and other social-charity activities with some of his like-minded friends.

“Books have always been my passion”, he said. “ And I chose the career of running a book store so I get to spend my time amidst books. I started the book store in 2002 but before that I used to sell the books on my bicycle cycling around the whole city. It was quite a struggle but it paid off when there were patron demanding books to be supplied in the libraries of schools and colleges,” he added sharing his journey.

Apart from that he has also donated almost 50000 kiddy banks to children in schools in 30 English and Urdu medium schools for the children to save money and buy a book of their choice. His sole aim is to revive the dying culture of reading books.

“ I want children to inculcate the habit of reading a book instead of spending their time playing games on mobile phones. Reading is such a rich hobby, it ignites imagination, helps the children to improve their vocabulary and grasping abilities. But today we see children are no longer interested in reading but after this kiddy bank campaign, I have received positive feedback from the school teachers that students are now reading books in their free time.” he explained with a note of satisfaction in his voice.

His initiative of gifting kiddy banks was picked up by other schools who began gifting the same to their children to get them into the habit of saving money to buy books.

The Maulana then takes time in the afternoon when the sun is at its peak to ride around the vicinity with his bags of water bottles and distribute the cold water to the thirsty people irrespective of their caste, religion, gender, he sees on the roadside. His daughter ordered customised bags with the caption: ‘ Choti si neiki, Pyase ku pani’ which can hold at least 50 bottles.

“ Many passersby give coins to these beggars but when I give them a water bottle, they are happy and utter blessings, their happiness clearly visible on their faces. It gives me satisfaction when I see them drinking the cold water”, he shared beaming with happiness.

He also explains that he is not after recognition or awards. He does these activities because he wants his 5 children to look up to him and learn good values. Good morals and principles to lead a righteous life as per Islamic Values is the legacy I want to leave behind.

But awards have also come his way when he has been covered by the media for his earlier work of mohalla libraries, distribution of kiddy banks, promoting Urdu, water distribution program.

Nadvi’s efforts for preserving Urdu through the foundation have not gone unnoticed. He received the ‘Shaan- e- Aurangabad’ award in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2023 by the Aurangabad Jeddah Association. The Maharashtra Urdu Academy and the Telangana Urdu Academy have both awarded him. Many other organisations have felicitated him for his efforts to promote Urdu and reading culture.

In this context, students were specifically advised to undertake PG Diploma course in Urdu Journalism from IIMC.
