Medical Reviewer — Emergency & General Medicine, MBBS
About Dr. Zafar Nehal
I am an MBBS physician who has spent more than twenty years in emergency, critical and general medicine — including years as a Chief Medical Officer with the Max Healthcare group and, currently, as a Casualty Medical Officer in Noida. Over that time I have managed everything from cardiac and respiratory emergencies to the day-to-day, long-term care of older patients with chronic conditions.
I review Prarambh's clinical care guides to make sure the medical information families read here is accurate, current and safe to act on. My focus is on clear, practical guidance — the kind that helps a family make a calm, informed decision about a parent's health and care.
