Dr. Sukhpal Kaur is a pioneering force in Indian nursing whose 34-year career has redefined how evidence-based care reaches the most vulnerable.

Motivated by the urgent need for nurse-led innovation in underserved settings, she played a key role in securing national interdisciplinary research grants — developing mobile apps, home-care protocols, and indigenous therapies that have improved outcomes for cancer patients, bedridden elders, and rural families.

From contributing to nurse-led specialty clinics to transforming education through simulation and competency-based learning, her work bridges academic excellence with grassroots impact — making compassionate, research-driven care accessible where it’s needed most.
