Dr. Anita Sharma was born on 26 December 1956. She passed her MBBS in the year 1981 from the University of Jabalpur and completed her MD Medicine in 1984 from Rani Durgawati University. She belonged to the team of doctors who came in the early stages of development of Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences. She was one of the pioneers of the medicine department and rose to become the head of the department. In the later part of her career, she played a very vital role to groom the newly created Department of Emergency Medicine and gave it a strong foundation and ensured that it becomes a Post Graduate Department.

Dr. Anita was a very strong, courageous and upright lady committed to her profession and worked tirelessly for the betterment of her patients till her last breath. In spite of a long and chronic illness, one could always see a smile on the face of this great lady. She leaves behind a loving son and daughter and a caring husband, Dr. JP Sharma. The SRHU family prays to the Almighty to give courage and strength to her family to bear this irreparable loss.
