Pioneer in Pain Management and Palliative Medicine

Relieving pain. Restoring dignity. Redefining care.

For more than four decades, Prof. Dr. Sushma Bhatnagar has worked at the intersection of science and compassion — shaping how pain is understood, treated, and relieved. Today she serves as Principal Director of Onco-Anesthesia, Critical Care, Pain Management and Palliative Medicine at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi.

About

A Life in Medicine

One of India's most respected voices in anaesthesiology, pain medicine, and palliative care. Her career began in 1981 at SMS Medical College, Jaipur — spanning clinical practice, academic leadership, research, and national policy for over four decades.

She established Onco-Anaesthesia as a recognized super-specialty in India, founded the country's first DM and MD programmes in Onco-Anaesthesia and Palliative Medicine at AIIMS, and drafted AIIMS's Pain Policy and End-of-Life Care Policy.

Education: MBBS & MD, SMS Jaipur · MSc Palliative Medicine, Cardiff University, UK · FAMS · FRCP, UK

Current Role: Principal Director, Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi (2026–present)

Philosophy

Philosophy & Vision

"Death is inevitable. Suffering need not be."

At the core of Dr. Bhatnagar's practice: every patient facing a serious illness deserves relief from pain, honest information, and an end of life marked by dignity. Her approach is holistic — treating the person alongside the disease, extending care to the family, and insisting on communication that is honest, compassionate, and unhurried.

Awareness

Expanding public and medical awareness of cancer pain and palliative care

Quality of Life

Ensuring cancer patients live with less pain and more peace

Dignity

Advocating for dignified end-of-life care for those with serious health conditions

Leadership

Transforming Care Beyond Cure

When Dr. Bhatnagar started, palliative care in India was informal and under-resourced. She helped change that — building policies, training programmes, and clinical services that outlast any individual patient encounter.

Policy

Founded AIIMS Pain Policy & End-of-Life Care Policy; contributed to NDPS Act amendment (2014); WHO IMPACT Mission, Sudan (2012)

National Leadership

President, Indian Association of Palliative Care (2018–2025); Master Mentor, Palliative Care Program, India

Clinical Innovation

Advanced interventional pain techniques: Peripheral Nerve Field Stimulation, ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, Scrambler therapy

Training Programmes

IAPC Certificate Course at AIIMS (biannual); 17 editions of Foundation Course on Palliative Care (2009–2019); CTC Training Programme (7 editions, 2016–2025)

Teaching & Mentorship

A Born Teacher

Colleagues and students call Dr. Bhatnagar a born teacher. Her classes cover more than clinical technique — she teaches communication, listening, and the ethics of sitting with a patient who is afraid. For her, teaching and patient care are the same craft.

Her emphasis is consistent: communication skills and the ability to listen to the patient's voice. Students describe her approach as holistic — the whole patient, the whole family, and the human being behind the clinical record.

"The whole patient, the whole family, and the human being behind the clinical record."
