Ramya Kannan

Ramya Kannan is The Hindu’s health editor and the Tamil Nadu bureau chief. If you’ve been doing certain things for 27 years, particularly in full public view, it is likely that they come to define you, but there is always much more in a person’s life. She has been a keen watcher of the happenings in the healthcare sector for at least two and a half decades now, and the socio-economic development sector, besides having her nose to what’s cooking in the State of Tamil Nadu. Thankfully, she’s managed to retain the passion she started off with in journalism, while also trying to pick up skills in photography, cooking and baking, a snatch of gardening, trying to nurture a coven of women journalists, and mostly, trying to keep up with a very 12-year-old daughter.
