Compassion Over Profit: Dr. Ejaz Ali's Philosophy

Dr. Ejaz Ali, a surgeon from Patna, has been a beacon of hope for the underprivileged for over three decades. Charging just ₹10 for consultations, his unwavering commitment to affordable healthcare extends to surgeries priced significantly lower than market rates, with many patients receiving waivers or installment plans. Inspired by poverty and his mother's teachings, Dr. Ali prioritizes compassion over profit. His legacy includes not only his medical practice but also advocacy for marginalized communities and a stint in the Rajya Sabha. Dr. Ali’s philosophy continues to inspire generations of doctors and social activists alike.
