An inspiring visit to the Dr. M.L. Dhawale Memorial Complex

Today our sub team spent the morning at the Dr. M.L. Dhawale Memorial.

Dr Piyush Patel who has been working with us this past month on our project used to teach at their Medical College and took us to meet their board members and installations.

Established in 1987, Dr. M. L. Dhawale Memorial Trust (MLDT) mission’s is “To achieve excellence in integrated holistic medical care, education, research & extension services through homoeopathy and allied disciplines in order to promote positive health in the individual and in the community in a cost effective manner”.

The complex is extremely well maintained and holds a hospital and a Medicine College. The hospital works as a teaching hospital and students learn from their 1^st year how it is to work on the field.

The hospital is designed to attend the population from rural areas at a very low cost or no cost but maintaining the excellence on the service provided. It works a NGO and it’s basically maintained on donations.

To be able to experience and talk to so many passionate people who dedicate some of their time, which for me is the most valuable thing you can give is just fascinating!

We heard a lot of successful stories and were able to explain a bit about the CSC program and how IBM is focused on working for the communities too.

We also left some homework and hope to see their new social media pages up soon so I can share their amazing work with you all!

During our meeting with Dr Hema Parikh and Dr Purohit I heard something I brought with me: “We want to help create human doctors, professionals who are devoted to one another”. This way of thinking is visionary and certainly helps the world to be a better place.
