Journeys grow exciting with every turn, and the road to seva is no different. Armed with all the experiences I have assimilated and the lessons I have learnt, it is time to take things to the next level — and I am thrilled to announce the beginning of this new organization: The DoctorsForSeva Aarogya Foundation.

There’s no time like now…

This new chapter will work to involve more people in our efforts in a structured and holistic manner. Partnerships and collaborations, volunteerism, and the de-commodification of the healthcare system are central to our modus operandi. Governments, international agencies, and charitable foundations are paying greater attention to the physical and mental wellbeing of their citizens. There is also increasing awareness of good health and its critical connection to economic development and people’s happiness. So now, more so than ever, Aarogya Seva has a large and pivotal role to play.

Together, we can!

There is a synergy in collaborative efforts that amplifies everything we do for those in need. Volunteerism, in various ways, will be the key driver to achieving our end objective — the de-commodification of the healthcare system so every individual has access to quality health and healthcare.

We choose to work completely impartially, meaning all our choices are based on the needs of the patient and in the spirit of seva and volunteerism — a principle which is enshrined in ancient Indian traditions, international humanitarian law, and medical ethics. Commitment and dedication from passionate volunteers, both medical and non–medical, will be the key to the success of this new organization.

If it weren’t for the immense support of the volunteer family, scripting our success stories would be impossible. I hope you will be inspired to support Aarogya Seva and join us in our common mission of providing health for all and making Aarogya Seva a global movement driven by the spirit of seva!
