"Healer, heal thyself."
Join the movement. Prioritize your health. Inspire the nation.
Doctors often dedicate their lives to healing others, yet in doing so, they may neglect their own health. Fix Your Own Shoes is a metaphor and movement urging healthcare professionals to prioritize their well-being — to "practice what they preach." Inspired by the story of a brilliant cobbler who lost customers due to his own tattered shoes, this initiative is a reminder: the most credible advice comes from those who embody it.
Doctors are focal points for health in Indian society. They command immense trust—what they say, and more importantly, what they do, shapes the behaviour of millions. When doctors are visibly healthy and proactive, it builds credibility and sets a powerful example that influences patients and communities alike.
This isn’t just about optics — it’s about sustainability, role modeling, and the health of an entire population. In a world where lifestyle diseases are surging and overall health is deteriorating, fit doctors make a bold, positive statement.
Alarming data suggests that the average lifespan of Indian doctors is more than 10 years shorter than the general population. That should concern us all. A profession dedicated to health cannot thrive while neglecting its own well-being.
A movement is needed. A shift is overdue. Fixing our own shoes is not just a metaphor — it’s the foundation for a healthier nation.
