Gulshan Rai Khatri hailed from Dera Ismail Khan but shifted to Delhi along with his family after the partition of India. He graduated in medicine from the Maulana Azad Medical College in the city in 1966.[4][5] He also secured post graduate degrees of DPH and MD with specialization in community medicine.[6]

Khatri joined the Government of India in 1966, after his graduation, and, over the years, rose in rank to head the nationwide tuberculosis programme. During his tenure, he managed what is rated by many as the largest Directly Observed Short Course (DOTS) TB and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment in history which started with 18 million patients in 1998 and covered 500 million patients[2] at the time of his retirement from service in 2002. During this period, it is reported that the death rate due to the disease was brought down to 5 per cent.Шаблон:Citation needed
