Dr. S.P.Shukla

As director of Asha hospital he holds immense experience of nearly 45 years in medical field. He has done his MBBS from GSVM Kanpur way back in 1975. He comes from the classical era of medicine when more emphasis was given to classical symptoms and immaculate history rather than the present era of investigative diagnosis. Having practiced medicine for such a long time, he takes no time in diagnosis, and is available with a quick and practical solution of the patient’s problem. His patients are always very happy with his empathic approach which is considered very important for patients suffering from psychiatric illness.

He is also responsible for all emergency medical services and treatment of all other medical conditions of the patients. Problems pertaining to liver and other vital organs are common to drug abuse patients, which are taken care by Dr. S. P. Shukla. His expert advice and only desired medication to patients having such problems, not only helps the patients for a speeded recovery but also develops confidence in patients that they are in safe hands. Although he specializes in general medicine, he has special interest in field of mental illness and drug abuse. His attitude towards patients suffering from various addictions like alcohol, opioids or nicotine is non-judgmental and provides them with unconditional support. He believes that addiction is a chronic illness like diabetes or hypertension and so relapse is a rule rather than exception. Whenever a patient relapses he offers his unconditional support and never judges there intentions. He says proper medication along with motivational enhancement therapies work wonders for patients who have been to rehabilitation centers or de-addiction centers even for several times before. So whenever he comes across any such patient of addiction who has relapsed into drugs, his approach is not of anger or frustration but of motivating patients and their families to continue the fight against drugs. He also teaches the family of these addicts to support them in their fight with drugs, to have a non-confrontational approach with patients.

Irrespective of his empathetic behavior towards his patients, he is very strict and enforces strict instructions to patients for maintaining good hygiene and cleanliness for them-selves as well as their surroundings. Littering within the hospital premises is a strict NO from him. He has made strict rules which are imposed on patients for their daily routine, sports, exercises and recreation.
