Personal Journey
Dr. P C Gupta’s commitment to vascular health is deeply personal. Early in his career, while training at prestigious institutions like the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, PGIMER Chandigarh, he witnessed the profound impact of vascular diseases on patients’ lives—often compounded by a lack of awareness or access to care. A defining moment came during his fellowship in Nagoya University School of Medicine, Japan, where he saw how education and early intervention could transform outcomes for patients with conditions like varicose veins and aortic aneurysms and limb ischemia. This experience, coupled with his encounters with patients facing preventable complications inspired him to establish Vascular Education Foundation. Dr. Gupta’s personal mission is to demystify vascular health, making it easier for individuals to recognize symptoms, seek timely care, and live healthier lives. His compassionate approach and dedication to patient-centered care continue to guide the Foundation’s work. In addition, he is part of an international group of leading Vascular experts working with a vision to globally reduce limb amputation rates.
