This Delhi doctor treats the poor for free

Anshuman Kumar, a surgeon wants to dedicate his one day in a week to the poor.

New Delhi: Meet Anshuman Kumar, a cancer surgeon from Dharamshila Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in New Delhi who visits Kasna village in Greater Noida on every Thursday and helps the poor with free generic medicines with medical advice.

Anshuman says that he was moved by the plight of the villagers when he heard about them through security guard in civil service colony. He says that he didn't have to give much but a time and dedication towards the treatment of the poor.

He visits Kansas every Thursday and starts treating the people who come to him with their health problems.

The surgeon has been doing this for the past seven years.

He adds that the poor will have to choose between work or the doctor consultation fee due to lack of financial support. Anshuman says that he fixed a day for the poor from his scheduled and attends the work without fail.

He says that one man who is a daily wage labourer came to him with a leg problem. Upon checking, it was found that he was suffering from reduced blood flow in the legs. To him, going to a doctor meant a loss of pay for the day and the consultation fee.

"I advised him to quit smoking and gave him some generic medicines. He is fine now," the surgeon says.
