About Dr. Ritu Jha
Dr. Ritu Jha is a neurologist with over 26 years of experience caring for patients with complex brain and nervous system conditions. She currently serves as Director and Head of the Neurology Department at Sarvodaya Hospital in Faridabad, where she leads a team dedicated to thoughtful, evidence-based neurological care. Patients across Delhi NCR and beyond seek her out for conditions ranging from epilepsy and stroke to Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Jha's training spans some of India's most respected medical institutions. She completed her MBBS at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, followed by her MD in Medicine from King George Medical University, Lucknow, and her DM in Neurology — the highest postgraduate qualification in the field — from SGPGI, Lucknow. Before her current role, she built her clinical experience at institutions including Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, BL Kapoor Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, and the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences in New Delhi. This broad exposure across top-tier hospitals has given her a well-rounded perspective on neurological care at every level of complexity.
What patients and families consistently appreciate about Dr. Jha is her ability to explain difficult diagnoses in plain, reassuring language. Neurological conditions can feel overwhelming, and she takes the time to walk patients through their options, set realistic expectations, and involve families meaningfully in the care process. Her clinical interests span a wide spectrum — from managing drug-resistant epilepsy and stroke recovery to helping patients live well with Alzheimer's disease, myasthenia gravis, and motor neuron disease.
For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Jha represents a compelling choice. Her decades of experience across premier Delhi NCR hospitals, combined with her academic contributions to neurological research, give patients confidence that they are in capable, well-informed hands. Gaf Healthcare works directly with her team to help overseas patients arrange consultations, coordinate diagnostics, and plan their care journey smoothly from start to finish.
