Ever wondered what surgical care in rural India is like?
Wanting to contribute to rural or global surgery but don’t know where to begin?
This webinar is for you…”Scalpels & Society”, presented to you by Rural Hospital Network.

First episode is featuring Dr Nandakumar Menon, General Surgeon, co-founder of Gudalur Adivasi Hospital.

NK Sir (as he is fondly known as) did his MBBS from CMC Vellore, and surgical training in the USA. In 1990 he made the decision to move back to India to serve the tribal people of the Nilgiri mountains, in Gudalur. He cofounded the ASHWINI Gudalur Adivasi Hospital and was its director from 1990 to 2020. ASHWINI is built by the tribal people for the tribal people.

Listen to sir’s fascinating stories of the early days of founding a tribal hospital, including how he operated on a makeshift OT table!
