Introduction:
Dr. M L Saraf exhibits a generous personality. Very difficult to find people like him, M L Saraf would feel at home treating the poor children in rural Maharashtra and Rajasthan. He has a great love for doing social service. The spark was there in his character right since the days he was an intern at the KEM Hospital in Mumbai. This spark was the main reason that prevented him from residing in London. In fact, he would have been a big success in London as well. However, he chose to serve his motherland.
All are equal
One of the best traits of M L Saraf is that he treats every patient with the same amount of respect, love, and affection. It does not matter whether the patient is the President of the US or a small poor boy from a nondescript village in Maharashtra. He understands the difficulties the poor people have to go through in life to seek medical treatment. He has an aim of eradicating the dreaded polio from India.
Tremendous figures
Until date, he might have operated upon more than 20000 patients. Out of this number, the poor would constitute more than 85%. Imagine his workload. During his 40 years in the profession, the ratio works out to more than one and a half operations per day. This is a tremendous figure considering the fact that he is a professor, researcher, and medical practitioner all rolled into one.
Love for children
He has a special love for children. This is evident in the number of operations he has conducted on children. Having organized a number of camps in the rural belt of Maharashtra, he calls upon his contacts among the rich people and arranges for the calipers etc for fitting onto these children.
He is a specialist as far as fitting people with the Jaipur foot are concerned. The Jaipur foot is an excellent contraption proving to be a boon for the orthopedically handicapped who have lost their limbs because of accidents or otherwise.
His social service does not end with treating the children in the rural areas of Maharashtra. He transcends geographical borders as well. He has done many such camps in Rajasthan as well. The Mumbai police force organizes a health awareness camp every year. Dr. M L Saraf is a regular volunteer at these camps. The poor slum-dwellers of Mumbai city can avail free treatment from one of the most illustrious sons of the soil, Dr. M L Saraf.
M L Saraf has a dream where he envisages every child in India would one day be able to walk on his or her two legs without the support of a third person. Going by the present trends, that day should definitely not be far enough. It should take a tremendous amount of self-sacrifice to be able to devote so much time to the welfare of the poor.
Final thoughts:
He is a true messiah of the poor in every sense of the word.
