Professor Pankaj Pathak
The Journey of Dr. Pathak Health and Wellness Centre
History
The journey started in 1937 with my grandfather, Pandit Jamunadeen Pathak. He had learnt the medicinal uses of various herbs from his mother right from early childhood. He started treating needy persons at a very young age. He was an agriculturist, but his selfless devotion to serve the society made him treat hundreds of villagers every day, free of cost.
He transferred all his knowledge to my father, Vaidya Shyam Krishna Pathak. To make him a recognized Vaidya, he admitted him to state Ayurveda College, Lucknow to help him pursue his BAMS degree. My father graduated in 1968 and started practicing Ayurveda in his village at Uttar Pradesh. His better half Smt. Suman Pathak too supported him throughout her life.
In the year 1979 he got a central government job as a medical officer at New Delhi. After his retirement in 2004, he established Dr. Pathak Clinic at Dwarka, New Delhi. Later the clinic evolved into Dr. Pathak Health and Wellness centre at Dwarka, New Delhi. This is now managed by his elder son, Vaidya Avnish Pathak, BAMS, MS. Vaidya Shyam Krishna Pathak has four siblings Vaidya Avnish Pathak, Vaidya Pankaj Pathak, Madhu Pathak and Aradhna Pathak (the third generation of Vaidyas).

A Memory that's etched deeply in the journey
Memory
It was a tough time when my parents were struggling to give us all comforts, but still my father was treating patients without charging a single rupee. He was the real hero who gave importance to moral values. Even during the COVID pandemic, he was successfully treating patients with Ayurveda medicines. He did not close his clinic during those days and used to see the patient almost whole day and night. At last he himself got infected with COVID and left this world in April, 2021.
Torch Bearer
