1. What motivated you to establish the Dr. Good Deed Clinic in rural Bihar, and how has the local response influenced your plans for healthcare expansion in underserved regions?
I founded the Dr. Good Deed Clinic in rural Bihar to address the stark healthcare disparities in underserved areas where specialist care and infrastructure are lacking. The positive response from the local population, who now have access to essential medical services close to home, reaffirmed my belief that healthcare is a basic right. This success has fuelled our ambition to expand into other underserved regions, ensuring affordable, high-quality care while also educating communities about their health.
