About Dr. Saveena Gulati Raheja

Dr. Saveena Gulati Raheja is a Senior Consultant in Medical Oncology with more than 37 years of dedicated clinical experience in comprehensive cancer care. She earned her medical qualifications from the prestigious Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, including her MBBS and MD, and holds specialized certifications in board-certified cancer pain management (BCCPM) and palliative care (IAPC). Her extensive background positions her as a trusted voice in oncology across India and internationally.

Dr. Raheja's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of modern cancer treatment modalities: conventional chemotherapy, targeted molecular therapies, cancer immunotherapy, and CAR-T cell therapy. She specializes in hormone-directed treatments for breast, prostate, and gynecologic malignancies, and is particularly skilled in managing treatment-related side effects through integrative approaches including acupuncture and supportive care. Her holistic philosophy combines evidence-based oncology with patient-centric supportive strategies, allowing her to address not only disease control but also quality of life during and after treatment.

Dr. Raheja has built a reputation for welcoming and effectively managing international patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, Africa, and South Asian regions. She is fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, facilitating clear communication with patients from diverse backgrounds. Her patient-first approach and emphasis on informed decision-making make her particularly valued by overseas patients seeking comprehensive cancer management in India.

Practicing at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, Dr. Raheja benefits from access to state-of-the-art oncology infrastructure, advanced diagnostic imaging, and multidisciplinary tumor boards. Apollo's commitment to international patient services, combined with its NABH-accredited facilities and 24/7 critical care support, creates an ideal environment for complex cancer cases. International patients choosing Dr. Raheja's care will find seamless coordination, English-speaking nursing staff, and dedicated international patient liaison teams to arrange consultations, treatment planning, and post-operative follow-up.
