A legacy of healing passed down through generations. Building a healthier future for India through advanced metabolic care.
"It all started with my great great grandfather, Lala Jeevanmal Sabharwal, who was a station master in Lahore. One day he heard Gandhiji talking about health and education. Inspired by Gandhiji's speech, he then insisted that all his four sons would study medicine."
That singular moment of inspiration in 1919 birthed the family's first doctor — Dr. Bodhraj.
Dr. Bodhraj then decreed that every subsequent generation had to study medicine. And every son had to marry a doctor bride. Following the partition, the family moved to Delhi and opened five more hospitals, each bearing the name of the patriarch of the family — "Jeevan".
Today, Dr. Arush Sabharwal stands as a proud successor of this lineage — a breed of Best Bariatric Surgeon, carrying forward a century-old promise to serve humanity.
