Happy International Women's Day — Wear Your Confidence Like a Crown
Rajkot, Gujarat | 8 March 2026
On International Women's Day 2026, Dr. Nikhila Pachani — Consultant Interventional Cardiologist based in Rajkot — joins people across the world in celebrating the strength, grace, and unstoppable spirit of every woman.
A Day to Honour Every Woman
International Women's Day, observed every year on 8 March, is a reminder that women everywhere — in homes, hospitals, boardrooms, and beyond — are quietly and powerfully shaping the world around them.
Dr. Pachani's Women's Day message says it best:
"Not a princess waiting to be saved. A queen building her own empire. This Women's Day, wear your confidence like a crown."
It is a message that resonates deeply — whether you are a homemaker managing a household, a professional breaking new ground, or a patient taking charge of your own health.
Women and Heart Health — A Reminder Worth Sharing
Women's Day is also a good moment to talk about something that does not always get enough attention: heart health in women.
Heart disease is one of the leading health concerns for women in India, yet it is often under-recognised. Symptoms in women can sometimes feel different from the "classic" chest pain most people know about — they may include unusual tiredness, breathlessness, or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back.
Taking care of your heart is one of the most powerful things a woman can do — for herself and for everyone who depends on her.
Some simple steps that support heart health:
- Stay physically active, even with a 30-minute daily walk
- Eat a balanced diet with less salt, oil, and processed food
- Manage stress — it has a real impact on the heart
- Do not ignore symptoms; get checked early
- Know your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol numbers
Empowered Women Empower the World
Dr. Pachani believes that an empowered woman — one who is informed about her health and confident enough to seek care — truly makes the world a healthier place. This Women's Day, the message from her practice in Rajkot is simple: your health matters, your strength matters, and you matter.
If you have any concerns about your heart health, please consult a qualified cardiologist. Early evaluation can make a meaningful difference — book a consultation today.
