Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 14: For a family in a district town in Uttar Pradesh, seeing a neuropsychiatrist can mean taking a day off work, travelling to Lucknow and making the same journey for follow-up. Dr. R. K. Thukral, a senior neuropsychiatrist and Chairman and Managing Director of Omnicare Health House, has spent much of his career bringing care closer to those families. Over the years, he has run approximately 19 centres across Uttar Pradesh and continues to serve patients through satellite centres. Online consultations are available to patients in India and abroad, and digital prescriptions give families a record they can refer to between visits.
