Dr. Dhwanee Thakkar — Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Dhwanee Thakkar is a Consultant at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 14 years of experience. She is listed in pediatric hematology, hematology and medical oncology, and her qualifications are MBBS, MD in paediatrics, FNB in paediatric haematology oncology, a fellowship in haemostasis and thrombosis, and an IAP fellowship in paediatric haematology oncology and bone marrow transplant.

Her procedures cover the whole of a children's blood service: pediatric leukemia, bone marrow transplant listed both generally and for children, chemotherapy for cancer, and the three long-term disorders of thalassemia, sickle cell disease and aplastic anemia.

Her haemostasis and thrombosis fellowship is the unusual entry. It was taken at The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in Scotland, funded by an Access to Insight Scholarship for advanced training in haemostasis and thrombophilias in 2017, and it covers clotting rather than cancer. A paediatric haematologist who has trained separately in bleeding and clotting disorders can manage a child who bruises without cause as readily as a child with leukemia.

Her student record is strong. She won the gold medal for MD Paediatrics at VNSGU in 2012 and, in the same year, the rotating gold medal for the highest marks among all postgraduate faculties in the university. In 2016 she held a travelling scholarship for the 17th biennial meeting of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies, and in 2017 she won first prize for a poster on infections in the paediatric haematopoietic stem cell transplant setting at the midterm PHO meet in New Delhi.
