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.
