Dr. Meena Shah, CEO of Medico Media, Founder of Namaste Life NGO, Health & Life Coach.

A Paediatrician by Profession, Dr. Meena’s passion lies in Proactive, Positive & Preventive Health Care, that led her to become Health & Life Coach & Health Communication Expert.

Thereafter, Dr. Meena also served briefly at children’s hospital Plymouth, U.K. before returning to India in 1980.

It is not surprising that the World Health Organisation(WHO) announced in 2019 India has the highest number of people with depression.

Dr. Meena affirms that medication only does half the job and the remaining half is done by the patient, not only taking medicines as prescribed but also adopting a healthier way of living. She strongly believes that corporates and industries should show greater involvement in inducing a healthier lifestyle & eliminating stress for their employees, to ensure enhanced levels of effectiveness and productivity at work.
