Dr V Shanta: The doctor who cared and cured

For 65 years, Dr V Shanta had made Cancer Institute (WIA) her home, in more ways than one. The 94-year-old doctor – the country’s most well-known and loved oncologist -- lived on the top floor of the hospital, in a makeshift home. For years she lived out of a single room and then expanded her home to include a living room, bedroom and study. “I don’t need more than this. I like to spend all my time with my patients,” she had told The Times of India in an interview in 2012.
