Dr. Deepak Kulkarni, a Consultant Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeon, with more than 40 years of practice, has started an initiative – ‘Individual Social Responsibility’, wherein, he offers 50% concession on all his treatment charges to the senior citizens above the age of 70, across different economic and social strata.

The only motivation that leads him to undertake this initiative is the immense satisfaction it gives him to see how his expertise and knowledge help the frail and vulnerable elderly to recover from their ailments.

He has begun this initiative in December 2018 and has given the benefit of it to 4 patients. He also mentions that there was one elderly lady of sound financial status, who could pay the fees and did not want the concession. The noble doctor has since decided to donate the concessional amount to a charitable organisation.

ILC-I salutes such noble individuals who are not just aware of their social responsibilities but are also serving one of the most neglected segments of society- the elderly!

We hope that this beginning made by Dr. Kulkarni would inspire other such doctors to help the elders in dire need of medical assistance, but, the exorbitant medical costs prevent them from accessing health services which would enable them to lead Healthy and Qualitative Lives!

ILC-I would be posting more such inspiring stories on their website. Let’s all work towards making our elders healthy and happy!
