About Neha Chandra
Cause-driven work is what sums up my life’s passions. Growing up, I saw how my mother surveyed multiple hospitals and treatment options before deciding the best for her family. Somewhere, her inquisitiveness rubbed off on me and I identified the gaps in the healthcare system wrt. doctor-patient communication and the lack of availability of simple literature. This very cause of eliminating fatalities due to the communication gap in the healthcare ecosystem led me toward a career in health communications.I am passionate about increasing awareness about healthcare innovations and contributing towards research backed by hard-hitting evidence. I understand the importance of strategic communication and high-level content creation. I have worked with several healthcare brands, and agencies leading their content, strategic planning, internal and external communications, patient advocacy, corporate affairs, and brand and campaign management. I have worked with over 20 healthcare firms across the globe (in pharma, biotech, med tech, public health, hospitals, NGO, diagnostics) in strategic communication, research, media intelligence, content creation, and stakeholder management. Brands include Medela India, Medanta hospitals, Metropolis Healthcare, CK Birla Hospital for Women, Abbott Healthcare, UNICEF, ImmuOne, Anahad Foundation, Varian, Siemens Healthineers, IPA, USAID, TPAG, PSI, Ambuja Cement Foundation, John Snow Inc, Sightsavers India and Save The Children India. I have over 20 bylines across health and wellness domain and I also curate content and host podcasts for a healthcare thought leadership platform.I have led communications on healthcare issues such as cervical & breast cancer, CHD, syncope, tuberculosis, thalassemia, diabetic retinopathy.
