“Doctors are blessings on humanity” runs a very traditional and utopian saying about doctors. But to be honest, how many of them really turn out to be so? Most are money extracting businessmen, to be very honest. However, M.L Saraf has successfully upheld the old saying. Indeed, this orthopaedic professor and surgeon is no less than God in the form of a human.

3. From a very young age, he showed signs of his genius. He did
not fail to top any examination he appeared for; be it in India or
abroad. However, that is not the topic of discussion. The point is,
in spite of accomplishing unimaginable heights in both academics
and profession, Saraf never took to the ivory tower. He was a
God for the poor.

4. 22% of the Indian population is still below the poverty level.
How can they ever imagine of affording costly medical services
required to treat complicated orthopaedic conditions? But does it
mean that they don’t deserve it? Certainly not! Dr M.L Saraf
came back to India after the completion of his studies in
Liverpool only to serve such people. Even though brought up in
an affluent family, he was sensitive to the needs of those living in
utter poverty.

Extending his helping hand to those
who absolutely need it
5. * He is an in house surgeon at KEM hospital in Pune. It is the
largest NGO hospital that provides affordable medical services.
* Dr. Saraf regularly arranged medical camps to treat the poor
with polio and scoliosis at a minimal cost.
* He is a part of the Narayana Sewa Sansthan that is an
organization working for the poor and physically challenged.

6. Another noble venture that M.L Saraf undertook was becoming
the chief medical advisor at Ashwini Naval Hospital. It is indeed
one of those areas that need strict emergency treatments, but very
few agree to work there. However, this man has proved to be
their savior, serving the men who serve the country.
Many chief commanders and Navy captains were treated and
cured under his expertise. Most of them still visit him for medical
opinions for their gratefulness towards this God-like man.

7. You must not only be measuring this man’s calibre with the
extent of his philanthropic activities. You must know that he was
the leader of the medical team responsible for Bill Clinton, the
former US president when he visited India. Apart from this, a
number of such prominent personalities have undergone medical
treatment under supervision of Dr M.L Saraf.

Taking responsibility of national figures
8. Manmohan Singh and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, both former Prime
Ministers of India, are among them. Upon a special request from
the Ministry of External Affairs, Dr. M. L. Saraf also attended to
Hamid Karzai, the former PM of Afghanistan.

9. After achieving the most dignified of honours like the Norman
Roberts prize, Mama Hazrat award and so many more, it is truly
spectacular to see a man remaining rooted to the grounds. People
who have been under his care testify to the fact that M.L Saraf if
a living God on Earth.
Dr M.L Saraf
A perfect blend of excellence and humility
