My mother’s love is the foundation of my self-esteem.

Empathy isn’t something we’re born with. We learn it through how we are held, soothed, and understood. When a mother responds with sensitivity and emotional presence, a child learns how to feel for others.

My father supported me with encouragement and guidance. My mother, however, gave me emotional resonance—she sat with my distress, comforted me, and helped me feel safe enough to grow. Both protected me, each in their own way.

Though my mother has gone to her heavenly abode, she is still with me.

May her memory be a blessing.

It lives on in my capacity to care, connect, and relate deeply to others.

“It’s better to stop the spark than to fight fire”

Preventing cancer is generally far better medically, emotionally, and economically than treating cancer as prevention saves lives, money, and suffering long before a tumour even forms.

Time to Move Beyond Medical Check-Ups: The New Role of Industrial Physicians

For decades, the role of industrial physicians has centred on medical check-ups, compliance, and illness treatment. While these remain essential, they are largely reactive — designed to detect disease, not to build resilience or prevent risks before they arise.

But today’s world of work is far more complex.Workplaces are no longer just sites of production — they are ecosystems of human potential.

It’s time for a strategic shift in mindset: From routine medical examinations to strategic workforce wellbeing.

A strategic wellbeing model integrates health into the very DNA of the organisation — addressing physical, mental, and social wellbeing as core drivers of performance, safety, and innovation.

Modern employees face diverse challenges: stress, fatigue, sedentary lifestyles, and mental health issues. These don’t just impact individuals — they affect productivity, engagement, and business outcomes.

Healthy employees are more adaptable, innovative, and productive.

Human sustainability is business sustainability.

When people thrive, performance follows.

Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, we embraced the WHO Healthy Workplace Model, which reinforces the importance of holistic wellbeing as a key driver of engagement and retention.

The industrial physician of the future is not just a medical examiner — but a strategic health leader, shaping business performance and continuity.

It’s time to raise the bar of ‘H’ in HSE because workforce wellbeing is the foundation of organisational success.

Why the “H” in HSE is often overlooked — and Why it must be reclaimed In most industries, HSE is a familiar acronym — Health, Safety, & Environment. Yet in practice, the “H” often remains the silent partner. While safety and environment receive structured frameworks, audits, & KPIs, the ...
