To promote mental well-being and work-life balance, medical professionals in Nagpur have initiated a unique musical venture — the DON Band (Doctors of Nagpur), bringing together healthcare and harmony.
The concept was brought to life by two accomplished doctors — Dr. Suresh Iyer, a celebrated pathologist and winner of the Global Voice of Doctors, and Dr. Nishikant Lokhande, a respected radiologist and the contest’s runner-up. Teaming up with fellow doctors who share a passion for music, they built a platform where the world of medicine beautifully intersects with the world of melody.
The DON Band made a memorable debut at the IMA Nagpur Hall, where doctors from various specialties took the stage with captivating solo and duet performances. The concert featured themed musical segments like Lost Legends, Awesome Ajay-Atul, Sufiyana, Nostalgic 90s, Fast Numbers, and vibrant Medleys — each one met with enthusiastic applause. Blending musical passion with professional poise, the performing doctors included Dr. Nishikant Lokhande, Dr. Suresh Iyer, Dr. Aishwarya Rewatkar, Dr. Samir Jahagirdar, Dr. Prachi Sancheti, Dr. Vinit Niranjane, Dr. Nekee Rajdeo, Dr. Yogesh Bang, Dr. Riju Chimote, Dr. Pratik Padole, Dr. Juhi Joshi, and Dr. Amee Rahatekar.
The show was smoothly hosted by Dr. Anuradha Ridhorkar and Dr. Akshay Kriplani, who kept the audience entertained throughout. The musical arrangements were beautifully done by well-known Nagpur musician Parimal Joshi, while Ajay managed the sound system with great skill.
Special thanks were given to Dr. Rajesh Sawarbandhe, President of the Indian Medical Association, Nagpur, and Dr. Jitendra Sahu for their support in managing the event.
The programme received a lot of appreciation from doctors, respected guests, and music lovers from all over Nagpur. With support from Pulse Clinic and Hospital, Nova Clinic, Spectrum Diagnostics, and Sun Pathology, the event was a big success. Encouraged by this, the DON Band is now planning more professional concerts in Nagpur and nearby areas soon. The band expressed heartfelt gratitude to their families, colleagues, and well-wishers for their constant support and encouragement in making this musical journey truly memorable.
