Dr. Shaphali Chandra

Who She Is (Authentic & Ground-Real)

Dr. Shaphali Chandra is a highly trained trauma surgeon shaped by real emergencies, not textbooks alone. Trained at AIIMS Trauma Centre, one of India’s busiest and toughest trauma environments, she has spent years managing life-threatening injuries where seconds matter and decisions save lives.

She is known for her sharp clinical judgment, calm leadership in chaos, and deep empathy toward patients and families—qualities that define a true trauma specialist.

What Makes Her Stand Out

• AIIMS-trained trauma surgeon with hands-on exposure to the most severe injuries
• Expert in damage control resuscitation & surgery
• Strong decision-maker in ER, OT, and ICU environments
• Team-driven approach across emergency medicine, orthopaedics, neurosurgery & anesthesia
• Patient-first mindset even in high-pressure critical care situations

Clinical Experience (Built in the Real World)

• Associate Consultant – Trauma Surgery & Critical Care
  Yatharth Superspeciality Hospital, Greater Noida
• Senior Resident – Trauma Surgery & Critical Care (3 Years)
  JPNATC AIIMS Trauma Centre
  (Jan 2021 – Dec 2023)
• 3-Year Super-Specialisation Training
  Comprehensive trauma care from ER stabilization → emergency surgery → ICU care → rehabilitation

This continuum of care exposure is what differentiates a true trauma surgeon from a general emergency surgeon.

• MS – General Surgery (2017) – Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi
