Dr. Satendra Singh is a doctor with a disability at UCMS & GTB Hospital, Delhi, and a passionate ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.
In 2024, the Supreme Court of India celebrated him as one of the nation’s “shining sons” who overcame adversity. In 2025, the WHO South-East Asia Regional Office (SEARO) honoured him with the Public Health Champion Award for reframing disability from a medical issue to a human rights issue and for influencing policies, & curricula, across India and globally.
From hospital rooms to courtrooms, from policy tables to polling booths, his journey tells a single story: that of a determined change-maker redefining dignity, access, and justice for millions.
Along with Dr. Aqsa and Dr. Sharma, he successfully petitioned the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) to ban unnecessary surgeries on intersex children.
