The First Doctor’s Day was celebrated in India in the year 1991. July 1 happens to be the birth and death anniversary of the most famous physician of India - Dr B. C.Roy. It is a tribute to his contributions to the health domain in the country. We are in the last week end of July & so decided to make it a doctor’s day special.
Dr Sadiq S Sikora, Director of Surgical Services at Sakra Institute of Digestive and HPB Sciences at Sakra World Hospital in Bangalore, is a distinguished medical professional with an impressive background. An alumnus of the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, Dr Sikora completed his MBBS and MS (Surgery) training there before joining the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology at the renowned Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow.
Dr Sikora's contributions to the field of surgery are numerous and impactful. He has made significant strides in areas such as Safe Cholecystectomy, repair of bile duct injuries, and pancreatic cancer surgery. With more than 125 published articles and book chapters in peer-reviewed journals, Dr Sikora has established himself as a leading voice in surgical research.
Beyond his accomplishments in surgery, Dr Sikora is deeply committed to education and mentorship. His dedication to teaching and cultivating the next generation of surgeons is evident in the success of his trainees, many of whom are now making significant contributions to the field.
Currently, Dr Sikora's focus lies on promoting "Nontechnical Skills for Surgeons" in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, and advocating for gender equality in the surgical discipline.
Outside of medicine, Dr Sikora has a passion for sports, particularly cricket, tennis, golf, and Formula1. He also enjoys traveling to destinations rich in cultural and historical significance.
