Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that concerns itself with the kidneys. It is the study of normal kidney function and kidney disease, the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy. Nephrologists have advanced training in treating kidney disease. They diagnose and treat kidney failure, as well as help patients by prescribing medications, offering special diet advice, and coordinating dialysis care or kidney transplantation when it becomes necessary.

Amid the challenges of the Covid era, Dr. Anand innovatively created a relaxation method known as “My 60 Seconds.” This technique, requiring just 60 seconds, has proven immensely beneficial in bringing calm and rejuvenation to healthcare workers and team leaders. Dr. Anand extends her teaching of this technique not only to healthcare professionals but also to individuals worldwide.

Beyond her contributions to stress relief, she actively engages in speaking engagements and workshops tailored for doctors, nurses, and other professionals. Through these sessions, she imparts straightforward tips aimed at fostering self-care among participants.

On a more personal level, Dr. Anand is fluent in both English and Hindi.
