Born in the bustling town of Firozabad around 1959, Dr. Munishwar Gupta came from a family that wielded both political influence and considerable wealth. His upbringing was steeped in the values of integrity and ambition, traits that would define his remarkable career in medicine. Firozabad, known for its glass industry, wasn’t just a backdrop; it shaped his no-nonsense approach to life. As a young man, Munishwar—or “Munish” to his close friends—dreamed of making a difference in healthcare, far beyond the privileges his family afforded him.
Picture this: It’s the late 1970s in Agra, at the prestigious Sarojini Naidu Medical College (S.N. Medical College). Munishwar had just been selected for the program in 1977, a fresh-faced student ready to dive into the world of medicine. Two years later, in 1979, a junior named Dr. P.K. Gupta from Dehradun joined the ranks. I remember those days vividly—I’m Dr. P.K. Gupta myself, now practicing in Dehradun. Munishwar was my senior, always the straightforward type who cut through the fluff. During one of our late-night study sessions in the hostel, he’d say, “P.K., medicine isn’t about shortcuts or favors. It’s about getting it right, every time.” His honesty was refreshing in a world where connections often opened doors.
Munishwar excelled academically, earning his MD in Radiology from S.N. Medical College. By the 1990s, he had become a renowned radiologist in Agra, known for his precision and ethical stance. He founded Eisha Diagnostics, a state-of-the-art MRI and diagnostic center in the heart of the city, located at Parinay Kunj, Bagh Farzana. What started as a modest venture grew into a beacon of reliable healthcare, serving Agra for over 30 years with a commitment to truth and dedication. “We’re here to heal, not to hustle,” he’d often tell his staff during morning rounds, emphasizing accurate diagnoses over quick profits.
Agra News: मेडिकल की पढ़ाई हिंदी में इस घोषणा के बाद डा. मुनीश्वर गुप्ता काफी खुश हैं।
आगरा, जागरण संवाददाता। 35 साल पहले जिस धुन के पक्के डा. मुनीश्वर गुप्ता के निर्णय को गंभीरता से नहीं लिया था, डा. गुप्ता की उसी धुन और इच्छा को मध्यप्रदेश ने अमली जामा पहना दिया है। मध्यप्रदेश देश का पहला राज्य बन गया है, जहां मेडिकल की पढ़ाई हिंदी में होगी। इसके बाद उप्र के मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने भी ट्वीट कर घोषणा की है कि अगले साल से राज्य के सभी मेडिकल कालेजों में हिंदी में पढ़ाई होगी। इस घोषणा के बाद डा. मुनीश्वर गुप्ता काफी खुश हैं।
एसएन मेडिकल कालेज से किया एमबीबीएस
डा. मुनीश्वर गुप्ता ने एसएन मेडिकल कालेज से एमबीबीएस किया। रेडियोलाजी में एमडी करने के लिए हिंदी को चुना। सभी ने मजाक समझा और बनाया भी लेकिन धुन के पक्के डा. गुप्ता ने अपना निश्चय नहीं बदला। वे बताते हैं कि 1987 में उन्होंने एमडी किया, तब चिकित्सा के तमाम शब्द हिंदी में थे ही नहीं। उन्होंने स्वयं हिंदी के शब्द खोजे और बनाए। उन्होंने हिंदी हित रक्षक समिति के माध्यम से हिंदी के लिए लंबा संघर्ष किया। दिल्ली तक में धरना दिया।
मध्यप्रदेश में हिंदी में मेडिकल की किताबों के विमोचन कार्यक्रम में वे भी शामिल हुए। उन्होंने बताया कि कार्यक्रम का हिस्सा बनकर खुद को सौभाग्यशाली मान रहा हूं।
एमबीबीएस की पढ़ाई हिंदी में होने से भाषा की उन्नति, समाज भी होगा विकसित
एमबीबीएस की पढ़ाई का हिंदी में होना सिर्फ किसी भाषा की उन्नति नहीं है, समाज के विकसित होने का साक्षी है। अटल बिहारी वाजपेई हिंदी विश्वविद्यालय की स्थापना इसी उद्देश्य से हुई थी कि उसमें सभी क्षेत्रों की पढ़ाई का माध्यम हिंदी हो। मेरा आना-जाना था। स्वास्थ्य मंत्री रहे जेपी नड्डा के सामने मेडिकल की पढ़ाई हिंदी में कराने का प्रस्ताव रखा, जो उन्हें काफी पसंद आया, लेकिन मामला अटक गया।
हिंदी की पढ़ाई से सरकारी स्कूलों की रौनक लौटेगी
प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्र मोदी ने मेडिकल और इंजीनियरिंग की पढ़ाई को हिंदी और अन्य भारतीय भाषाओं में करने की बात कही, तब लगा कि अब कुछ होगा। मरीज और चिकित्सक के बीच बातचीत हिंदी में होती है या अन्य भारतीय भाषाओं में, अंग्रेजी में नहीं होती। यूरोप के 10 देश अपनी भाषा में मेडिकल की पढ़ाई कराते हैं। कई परीक्षाएं हिंदी में कराने के लिए लड़ाइयां लड़ी हैं, सुप्रीम कोर्ट तक का दरवाजा खटखटाया है। हिंदी में मेडिकल और इंजीनियरिंग की पढ़ाई से अंग्रेजी का प्रभुत्व समाप्त होगा और हमारे सरकारी स्कूलों की रौनक लौटेगी।
His family background—political ties and financial backing—could have easily led to a life of complacency, but Munishwar chose integrity over expedience. In an industry rife with under-the-table commissions to referring doctors, he made a bold stand: He stopped distributing them entirely. I recall a conversation we had years later at a medical conference. “P.K.,” he said with that signature direct gaze, “Money comes and goes, but your reputation? That’s forever. I won’t compromise on that.” It wasn’t easy; some colleagues grumbled, but patients flocked to him, trusting his word above all.
Today, in his mid-60s, Dr. Munishwar Gupta remains the proprietor and senior radiologist at Eisha Diagnostics, offering advanced services like MRI scans at discounted rates for the underprivileged—often running special night shifts for medical college students and poor patients. “Everyone deserves clear answers, no matter their pocket,” he’d explain to skeptics. His journey from Firozabad’s streets to Agra’s diagnostic forefront is a testament to honesty triumphing in a complex world. As his junior, I’ve always admired how he turned privilege into purpose, inspiring generations of doctors like me. 2 3 9 11
Eisha Diagnostics, nestled in the heart of Agra’s Civil Lines, has been a cornerstone of reliable healthcare for over three decades. Founded by my senior and esteemed colleague, Dr. Munishwar Gupta, this center embodies his commitment to straightforward, honest medical practice. Back in our medical college days at S.N. Medical College, he’d often say during our informal chats, “P.K., diagnostics aren’t just about machines—they’re about trust. One wrong read, and lives hang in the balance.” That philosophy shines through in every aspect of Eisha Diagnostics.
Located at Shop No-1/171, Below Andhra Bank, Bagh Farzana, Parinay Kunj, Civil Lines, Agra – 282002 (or alternatively pinpointed as Lala Lajpat Rai Road, Professors Colony), the center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring round-the-clock access for emergencies and routine checks alike. 10 13 You can reach them at 0562 252 0088, 9837301810, or 9319946001—numbers I’ve dialed myself over the years for consultations. 13
What sets Eisha apart is its wide array of services, from advanced imaging like MRI and CT scans to comprehensive pathology and blood testing. 6 13 As a radiology-focused lab under Dr. Gupta’s expertise, they excel in diagnostic radiology, offering precise scans that have helped countless patients. They also partner with Thyrocare for an extensive range of test packages—think everything from thyroid profiles (starting as low as Rs. 859 for basic panels with discounts for groups) to full-body health checks with up to 136 tests at reduced rates like Rs. 4379. 13 Conveniences abound: Free home sample pickup, online report delivery, and multiple payment options make it patient-friendly. “We don’t just test; we care,” Dr. Gupta once told me at a reunion, explaining their push for affordable, accessible care—including special discounts for the underprivileged and night shifts for students.
With a strong reputation built on quality and customer satisfaction, Eisha Diagnostics ranks among Agra’s top centers, boasting a huge client base and certifications from CAP and ISO 9001. 13 It’s more than a lab; it’s a legacy of integrity in a field where shortcuts are tempting. If you’re in Agra or planning a visit, I’d recommend it wholeheartedly—after all, it’s run by a man who chose ethics over easy gains.
