- Meet Dr. Desai, Orthopedic Specialist
A tribute to Dr. Paresh Desai for his thoughtful consideration toward the polio patients he serves. Rather than ask these handicapped patients to travel all the way to the main hospital for admission for their operation, he arranges it so the patients make their way to his nearby hospital. Then after the morning session he drives them in his own car to the other main hospital to be operated on there. Regardless of whether someone is poor or well-to-do, he treats each person as a respected human being, manifesting this attitude in all his caring actions towards them.

The manufacturing of calipers for polio patients may seem less glamorous and more of a mundane job, but is a very important element toward the full recovery of the patients.
We work closely with a small private institution which manufactures high quality orthopedic appliances.
The firm is headed by Mr.. Arun Solat (see pictured at left) who is highly skilled in custom design, and also often offers valuable counsel as to what patients need and how they can progress best in gaining further mobility.
