Legacy of Dr H N Roy

Born in 1927 in Mansoorpur, Sarai, Bihar, Dr H N Roy studied at L S College, Muzaffarpur, and completed his MBBS at Patna Medical College and Hospital in 1957. His medical career later took him to England and the Republic of South Africa before and after he established Dr H N Roy Mental Clinic in Hajipur in 1975.

He was a physician, recognised Indian freedom fighter, writer, musician, and devoted family man. Dr H N Roy passed away on 12 June 2012. The purpose of drhnroy.org is to preserve this legacy through public education—helping families understand mental health concerns, reduce stigma, and take timely steps toward qualified professional care.

झिझक और शर्म के कारण इलाज में देरी न करें. Mental health concerns deserve the same seriousness and compassion as physical health concerns.
