National Doctors' Day 2026: Honouring Dr. Zahoor Hussain Daraz

01 July 2026

Every year on the 1st of July, India pauses to say thank you to the people who show up — at odd hours, in emergencies, in quiet clinic rooms — to protect the health of others. This National Doctors' Day, the womb2bloom team is proud to celebrate one such physician who has been a steady, trusted presence for countless families across Srinagar: Dr. Zahoor Hussain Daraz, Consultant Paediatrician & Neonatologist at Medicare Superspeciality Hospital, Karan Nagar.

A Doctor Who Chose Children

Paediatrics is a specialty that asks for more than medical skill — it asks for patience, gentleness, and the ability to calm a frightened child while reassuring an anxious parent, often in the same breath. Dr. Daraz has built his practice around exactly that balance: precise clinical judgment paired with a bedside manner that puts Kashmir's youngest patients, and their families, at ease.

As a Consultant Paediatrician and Neonatologist, his work spans the full spectrum of child health — from the delicate, high-stakes care of newborns in the neonatal period to the everyday illnesses, growth concerns, and developmental questions that bring parents through his door.

A Contributor to Medical Knowledge

Beyond the clinic, Dr. Daraz has contributed to the wider medical community through published clinical case work — including reports on rare paediatric conditions such as congenital complement deficiency and observational studies on childhood infections. This kind of documentation matters: every case report adds to the collective knowledge that helps doctors everywhere recognise and manage rare presentations faster.

It reflects a mindset that goes beyond individual consultations — a commitment to advancing paediatric and neonatal care as a discipline, not just treating the patient in front of him.

Why This Matters to Us

At womb2bloom, our mission is to make maternity and paediatric care easier to access and easier to trust for families across Kashmir. That mission only means something because of doctors like Dr. Daraz, who do the actual work of healing — often unseen, always essential.

To every parent who has sat in his waiting room worried about a fever that wouldn't break, or a newborn who needed extra watching in those first fragile days: today is also a small thank-you on your behalf.

Happy Doctors' Day, Dr. Daraz

From every child whose cough eased, every parent whose sleepless night ended in relief, and every family that walked out of that clinic a little lighter — thank you for choosing this path, and for the years spent caring for Kashmir's children.

Happy National Doctors' Day.
