Doctor with a difference

Any right minded educated Indian knows that today our landscape is infected by increasing number of corporate 'vulture' hospitals with the sole aim of achieving popularity and amassing wealth in every possible manner.

There are NGOs and individual doctors who do help the poor. It was pleasure knowing about one such doctor as telecast in this program.

Thanks to Dr Ravi Kannan and the NHK WORLD JAPAN TV Channel. 

I remember PREPARE, one such poor people friendly NGO, run by Dr Jacob Dharmaraj, an admirable Managemant Professional husband and Dr Daisy Dharmaraj, his Medical Doctor wife. I was a team member in PREPARE.
