“After completing this mission, there was a sense from the team of complete satisfaction,” Subhash Garg said. “All Rotarians involved had a joyous feeling because we were able to contribute something so big.”

One medical team makes a big difference in this touching story:

During a massive seven-day medical mission in March, a team of 37 doctors and volunteers from District 3080 provided care to about 50,000 people in the remote tribal district of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Organized by Past RI President Rajendra K. Saboo and Vivek Tankha, additional solicitor general of India and past governor of District 3260, several health camps offered medical exams, dental procedures, and surgeries to a population with limited access to health care.

The team included 24 doctors and surgeons, nine volunteers, and four medical assistants.

“This was an exercise where vocational service was at its best, where doctors made their knowledge and talents totally available to serve humanity,” Saboo said. “We were able to reach the unreachable.”

The doctors and volunteers performed 3,500 dental procedures and 2,000 major surgeries, including reconstructive surgery, orthopedic work, and eye operations.
