Helpline and support
All through my professional career spanning over 4 decades, I have had the good fortune of providing cure and comfort to thousands of patients. At the same time, I have also seen many a life slip away as I tried everything under my prowess to fight against the sealed fate of unfortunate patients. I have seen cancer of the head & neck devour lives both young and old. I have seen an otherwise intelligent child that was born deaf vegetate away in society. I remember almost all the faces of my patients whom I lost or where I felt helpless, some vividly some not so vividly. Many of those who suffer did so not because there was no treatment but because they were unable to afford any treatment. I retired from all academic posts in 2012, even if I continued my private practice. Post retirement, I realised that I had the time to try to change some of what was happening. I knew that I could bring in my resources and my stature in society to bring about a difference in the lives of those who could do little about their diseases.
